Jaguar facts

The jaguar is the largest member in the cat family in the Western Hemisphere and the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion extending its territory from the geographic region of the Southern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina.

They are the only members of the genus Panthera that is left in the Americas. These creatures are mostly known for their tremendous unbeatable power. Jaguars are naturally engineered with equipment of power having large, square jaws, lean bodies, muscular limbs and prominent cheeks.

They do not possess the speed like the other members of the family like cheetah, but their power covers up for most of it. The most commonly found are the Black, or melanistic, jaguars fairly common and result of a single, dominant allele. However colors range from pale yellow to reddish brown.

Their colors, size and weight vary from region to region because the geographic conditions affect their features a lot. The largest jaguars are found in the Brazilian Pantanal with male weight of 100 kg and females weight of 76 kg.

Anaconda facts

Anacondas- the heaviest known snake species till now is a non-venomous boa species found in South America. It is the world’s largest snake that mankind is aware of till date. Although being totally non-poisonous this is one of the most terrifying hunters because of its immense power.

You would never want to mess with this buddy, because once it starts wrapping around you tight you cannot stand a chance. The Green Anaconda is also recorded as one of the world's longest snakes, reaching more than 6.6 m (22 ft) in length. Although there are words that few of them might stretch as long as 35–40 feet or even longer also exist, but the evidence to such claims is still lacking in the official records.

They usually dwell in the deeper parts of the forests in the swamp. Although they tend to be cumbersome on land, but these witty little (rather BIG) creatures are stealthy and sleek in the water. They remain submerged in the swamp with the eyes and nasal openings which are on top of their heads stealthily watch out for the movement of their prey.

Once caught the prey is impossible to escape because of the powerful constriction of the muscle which suffocates the prey and breaks every tiny little bone that is there in the body. Jaws attached by stretchy ligaments allow them to swallow their prey whole and these can swallow wild pigs, turtles, capybara, birds and even jaguars.

Jaguar vs Anaconda- who will win?

So you can already picture it how nasty a fight can end up when it is between the two most powerful muscles. The jaguar have the advantage of the finely chiseled enabling it to tear up the head of the anaconda or a dirty bite on its throat and it is mostly easy for the Jaguar if the fight ends up on the land.

The reason behind this is that the anaconda is very slow on land, the reason being pretty obvious slithering on the dry land with its gigantic torso. But if the jaguar invades the swamp territory of the anaconda then the game is done and this is what makes anaconda a natural predator of jaguar. Water is like a weapon to this predator equipping it with more power.

And once it is done swallowing a Jaguar it might not even need to hunt for a month or two, in other words a grand diner just got served. I hope you like reading Jaguar vs Anaconda fight comparison.
