The skull-cracker of the rainforest.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Jaguar vs Cougar
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. No snacks were harmed.
Jaguar
Panthera onca
Jaguars often kill with one bite to the skull. Efficient. Intense. Not a hug.
Capybara, deer, fish, caimans — the menu is the whole forest.
Cougar
Puma concolor
Also called puma, panther, and mountain lion. Same cat, many nametags.
Deer are favorite. Also raccoons, hares, and whatever the neighborhood offers.
Who do YOU think wins?
SCREAM-PURR
Cougar
The quiet jumper with a hundred nicknames.
