How do jaguars kill and catch their pray?
Jaguars are capable of killing just about any type of prey they encounter. They can kill animals ranging in size from an armadillo that weighs 1 kg (2 lb) to a cow that weighs more than 450 kg (1,000 lb). Jaguars hunt by walking slowly along trails, watching and listening for prey. They also wait in ambush beside trails and will leap into the water in pursuit of prey. They hunt when their prey is most active. In areas where they feed on nocturnal prey, they hunt at night. Jaguars preying on cattle often hunt during the daytime, and they usually kill caiman and turtles while these reptiles bask beside the water during the day. Jaguars have an unusual method of killing large prey. Whereas lions, tigers, and leopards kill with a throat or neck bite, jaguars often kill large prey by biting through the skull between the ears. Jaguars also use their powerful jaws and strong canine teeth to break open the heavy shells of large river turtles. Empty broken turtle shells with traces of jaguar hair around the openings are often found on favorite turtle-nesting beaches. No other big cat regularly hunts turtles and caimans, and some scientists have speculated that the jaguar’s robust canine teeth and enormously powerful bite developed specifically to pierce the armor of these reptiles. After killing a large animal, a jaguar will usually drag the carcass into dense cover before beginning to eat. If the kill is made in an open area, jaguars often drag their prey for considerable distances. they eat rests of animals and..don't forget that their favourite food is...OCELOT!

Why has leopards become endangered species?
As a species, the leopard is not considered endangered, but some subspecies, like the Amur leopard, are endangered, even critically so. The Amur leopard is endangered, mainly because of hunting and habitat loss, but leopards as a species are not endangered.
The 2017 IUCN Red List classifies leopards as "Vulnerable" (one step down from "Endangered") with the caveat that the situation with subspecies is under review.
Many folks, nevertheless, feel leopards are "endangered":
- Leopards are endangered because humans are killing them for their fur.
- Leopards are endangered because their habitat (trees) is being chopped down. Also, they are being poached for their fur to use in designer clothing. They are also at risk of being shot if they venture too close to a human village.
- Leopards are endangered because people hunt them for their beautiful coats. They may also get shot if they wander to close into a human village. Another reason is because the forests in which they live are being torn down. You can help save them by donating to a foundation that helps animals like leopards and other cats.
- Leopards are endangered because of a few minor things that we as humans can't change and a few more major things that we can. Some of the minor things are: floods, forest fires, starvation, Habitat loss, draught and other predators.
- The most major thing of all is poachers that want the leopards hide to sell. Also if a leopard is hunting a farmers cattle the farmer normally fights back by killing the leopard.
- Leopards are becoming extinct because of people and a few other animals. Some animals prey on leopards but very few. They main reason they are becoming extinct is because people are hunting them. Their rosettes, (the leopards pattern) are beautiful on a coat, so people hunt them. Some people hunt them for sport, like people used to do to tigers. Others do it because leopards are not scared of people. Sometimes leopards get to close to humans, and people get scared and shoot. Sometimes leopards try to eat livestock (animals raised by people, like cows, and donkeys) so people shoot at them.
- Leopards are endangered because people,hunters, kill them illegally for their fur. What they do is shoot them and then skin the animals and sell the fur to a coat maker or clothing making. You can help stop this if you buy faux fur.
Why is the black panther endangered?

What is the geographic range of the Florida panther?
The habitat for a Florida Panther is the State of Florida. Originally panthers occupied the entire state. Actually, at one time panthers lived from the Canadian border to the tip of Florida. As you go south from Canada, they got smaller. The Florida Panther is the smallest of all North American Panthers. It lived in the woods, pine lands, swamps, and everglades of Florida.
Texas Cougars brought to the Ocala National Forest in an attempt to rejuvenate the vigor of the Florida Panther all died after less than a year. However, they may have fathered some offspring that survived. So while the larger Cougars could not survive in Florida, they may bring needed new vigor to a recovering species.
