what is jaguar?

Answer 1

a car, or a member of the cat family

Answer 2

Of all the big cats, the jaguar remains the least studied. While some information comes from the wild, most of what is known about jaguars has been learned from captive animals. Wild animals are difficult to study because they are extremely rare, the reason for this will be explained later.

What is known about jaguars is that they are solitary animals, meeting only to mate. The young stay with their mother for a few years before leaving to find their own territory. At about three years, they are fully mature and able to mate

An adult jaguar weighs from 200 to 250 pounds, making it the largest cat in the North America. Jaguars hunt mainly at night. Their range of prey includes such forests and river animals as deer, pigs, sloth, fish, and even small alligators.
Jaguars range mainly in Mexico, Central, and South America. Some sparse sites have been recorded in Texas, Arizona, southern California, and New Mexico. They live mainly in forests and swamplands. Jaguars are excellent swimmers, and are the most water loving of the cats.

also a car

Answer 3

The jaguar is a species of 'big cat' related to lions and tigers. They are native to the New World, notably Central and South America. Jaguars prefer to ambush prey from trees and often bite through the victim's skull. The normal coloration is tawny yellow with rosettes of small black spots; black jaguars are less common.

Answer 5

To further your knowledge of Jaguar beyond the physical .... here is the magical interpritation;

The Star God came from somewhere beyond the stars, to the Aztec People who he taught to live in balance and harmony with all life. The message to the Aztec's was to, "Walk in your integrity and live with an open heart and all that you seek will follow."

Star God then left and flew back out into the stars of the Universe and the Aztec people lived harmoniously for many, many years.

Though as with all spiritual teachings, time also brought slight differences in the story, which grew to completely change the meaning of the original message. So too does weather change and times of abundace unfortunately turned to drought. This brought the Aztec to think they were not following the Star God's message correctly and the way they'ed been told to live with an open heart. So the Priests began human sacrifice to obtain and offer the open human heart.

Star God heard the prayers of the Aztec and saw their sacrificial offerings, and he returned. This time bringing with him, the Spirit of the Jaguar.

Star God destroyed a great portion of the Aztec Civilation by turning loose the Spirit of the Jaguar, and to devour those Priests who perverted the Star God's message and sacrificed the innocent.

Star God returned to the Universe of the Great Star Nation but left the Spirit of the Jaguar to walk through the dreams of men, to remind them to remain within their integrity and to live in harmony and balance with all life. Those who don't, The Spirit of The Jaguar haunts them with nightmares and death.

Jaguar, is the Spirit of Intrgrity.
