How much does a jaguar eat per day?

Answer 1

The daily food requirement of a 34 kg (75 lb) animal, at the extreme low end of the species' weight range, has been estimated at 1.4 kg (3.1 lb). For captive animals in the 50-60 kg (110-130 lb) range, more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) of meat daily are recommended. In the wild, consumption is naturally more erratic; wild cats expend considerable energy in the capture and kill of prey, and they may consume up to 25 kg (55 lb) of meat at one feeding, followed by periods of famine.

Answer 2

A jaguar typically consumes around 3-4 kilograms (6-9 pounds) of meat per day. Their diet mainly consists of large prey such as deer, peccaries, and capybaras. However, the amount they eat can vary depending on the size and availability of prey in their habitat.
