08:30 : The strength of the jaguar is that it can climb a tree on land, and then sit in a tree that overhangs above water, to ambush water creatures. Turning a jaguar into a seal will destroy the vital climbing ability. I think the real strength of the jaguar is versatility and adaptability. I don't think the jaguar will gain from specializing its body plan into that of a seal.
But little do u know that jaguars can’t hunt adult crocodiles they can’t even kill a adult black caiman and the “crocodile” shown in this video is caiman not crocodile and a caiman is way weaker than a crocodile that’s why jaguar can easily hunt them

If strategy and altitude are one of the main characteristics on the hunting techniques of a jaguar, I don't think they'll evolve into a water jaguar. They'll loose lots of advantages they have, as their retractable claws, climbing skills, and many hunting techniques, and also it would cost more energy to live in water. They are big but not as many whales so they would have problems with body temperature (though there are smaller mammals that live in water), and in the case of growing bigger, the water resistance will increase and they'll become slower, and in the case of getting bigger just in muscle they'll become much denser, sacrificing a confortable diving. Anyway, I think they'll remain in land but they'll be a little bit more in water, so maybe their paw and lung size will increase, and their fur will decrease or they'll develop a weird penguin-like waterproof fur (I know, penguins have feathers but you got my idea).
@@portalofgaming9649 you are right, I always call caimans, alligators and crocodiles the same way, "crocodiles", but it's a bad habit, and I'm not sure if they are dead against an adult one, it would be a good battle

Not every caiman though. There are 4-5 varieties of caiman in Amazon river. And smallest species tend to survive better due to the poaching and hunting of the big ones.
Aye u know what jackass crocodiles live in the Amazon with caimans ok Jaguars eat both of them for lunch I live in Guyana so u won't know better than me
There is one caiman, the black caiman, who is the biggest caiman species, and they grow to be about 18 feet long. Jaguars prey on smaller ones, but jags typically avoid the larger ones due to their ability to fight back and subdue the jaguar. Smaller species of caimans, such as the dwarf caiman or spectacled caiman are the ones primarily prey on. Also, there is one cat, the Turkish van, who loves swimming because they don’t have the undercoat that annoys cats if they get wet. Additionally, crocodiles don’t live in the Amazon, so these reptiles are most definitely caimans.

While a jaguar certainly couldn't take a full grown black caiman, they could easily pick off the younger ones. The reason they don't is because their habitats don't overlap.

This _croc-eating_ jaguar species lives here in Brazil in 2 regions: at the *Pantanal* (Brazil's wetlands, located at the southern border of the Brazilian Amazon forest) and at the *southern Amazon forest.* We call this big cat *Onça Pintada* (it means "Dappled Onca"). The scientific name is _Panthera onca._ The Portuguese word _onça_ can be (loosely) translated as _jaguar,_ so Onça Pintada ≈ Dappled Jaguar. When the onça is black (it actually is still dappled, but the fur is so black that it's harder to see the dapples), we call it Pantera Negra ("Black Panther"). Scientifically speaking, alligators and caymans are also crocodilians, but they're smaller and different from crocs. Brazil has no crocodiles, only caymans. In Brazilian Portuguese we don't say Cayman: we say *Jacaré.* The indigenous word *açu* means "huge". Because the biggest Cayman in Brazil was named by our indigenous peoples, its popular name is *Jacaré-açu.* Only the Onça Pintada hunts the Jacaré-açu. It's an adaptation to the environment. But Onças Pintadas also eat capybaras and other animals. Most (about 30%) of the Onça Pintada's diet consists of capybaras, about 20% are jacarés (including the Jacaré-açu) and other 10% are Pantanal Deers. The remaining 40% encompass fish, birds and all sorts of small mammals.
Idk why they'd go so far as to evolve into such a beast when all crocodiles or caymans offers are skinny bony snacks. One would think why even bother? But they did it so much and so effectively that they were able to evolve into these jaguars. Its insane. These guys are literally the navy seals of the animal kingdom.

This is news to me, I had no idea jaguars can hold their breath under water for 20 minutes! Also I wonder if jaguars have wider or more webbed paws than the other cats which would make them better swimmers as well? Couldn't find much online about that but they do seem to have rather large baseball-mitt looking paws!
I love how Jaguars will attack caimans without hesitation but will hesitate to attack a anteater, not joking, the animal a Jaguar is scared of is a anteater

"1 hour , Many researchers have reported that the jaguars can hold their breath for as long as 1 hour approximately. They can also feed on fishes, turtles, eggs, frogs, crabs, lobsters, and anything else they can catch."
well I'm not so sure, Jaguar have strong enough jaw to bite trought crocodiles skin and if they attack from above like they usually do i think they could even kill Australian and Nile crocodiles, but even with that ambush i don't think they're success rate of killing Australian and Nile crocodiles would be hight, maybe around 40% ? because Nile and Australian crocodiles are much larger than caimans and stronger too
I'd say they could since they are ambush hunters. But they'd die to the other 30 or so in the water. So it would take on one then lose to the others. But overall Nile and salty are big badasses
If a jaguar ambushes a croc and bites the head, size won’t matter. No Jaguar will openly walk up to its prey, and no croc will kill with a perforated brain

Jaguars hunt caimans not crocodiles because caimans are smaller and less aggressive than crocodiles and crocodiles have stronger armor than caimans so jaguars can’t hunt them

Interesting video but I noticed you keep talking about interactions between Jaguars and Crocodiles. Although there are some crocs in the tropical areas of the Americas, Jaguars more often attack and eat Caimans. "A caiman is an alligatorid belonging to the subfamily Caimaninae, one of two primary lineages within Alligatoridae, the other being alligators". Caimans are only distantly related to crocodiles, which belong to a separate family under the order Crocodylia.

No shit, Sherlock
@Dresuasian every big cat lover knows
The strongest pound for pound. But otherwise second strongest after the tiger.
@@ingurlund9657 no literally, strongest bite force, they bite through the skull in one go. But for literal fighting, tigers and lions will take all cats.
@@ingurlund9657 No you are wrong, After fresh water crocs with a 5,000 PSI bite force, Jaguars comes next, it is 3,000 PSI bite force which is very powerful amongst all animals. PSI is Pounds per Sq Inch
Crocodiles and jaguars don't live in the same area.
First of all, that’s a caiman and Jaguars do not hunt black caiman, they hunt smaller caimans. If it was a black caiman the jaguar would’ve stand no chance. Black caimans are bigger than Jaguars and Jaguars are scared and stay away from them.
@@eltovli_q1501 no
Ok just found out I mistook it for leopard
@@prince_yt3406 Actually habitats of Orinoco, American and Moreletes crocodiles overlap. Along with blackies they dominate jaguars. Jeez, even smaller crocodiles kill and eat bigger caimans if they are put in the same enclouser

Calling caimans crocodiles is like calling Jaguars tigers
It made me cringe a little

What you meant was "Don't bring a Caiman to a jaguar fight" because if you bring an actual Crocodile then you'd always win.
Tigers eat Crocs I'm sure

This is news to me, I had no idea jaguars can hold their breath under water for 20 minutes! Also I wonder if jaguars have wider or more webbed paws than the other cats which would make them better swimmers as well? Couldn't find much online about that but they do seem to have rather large baseball-mitt looking paws!
I love how Jaguars will attack caimans without hesitation but will hesitate to attack a anteater, not joking, the animal a Jaguar is scared of is a anteater
Giant Otters to Jaguar: We heard that "our food" is the top predator? Is that true?
Jaguar: P-please... it wasn't me making that statement
Plz jaguar would murder otter
@@jlahooper2496 not in the wild. Otters hunt in groups and Jaguars would flee most of the time
Jaguars eat Caiman, not Crocs.
giant otters do not eat jaguars btw in a 1v1 or even a 1v3 jaguar would easily win even if its in the water
haha *NO*
crocodiles and jaguars are the top predators including black caimans but not other caimans
That jaguar jumping at 02:32 looks just unreal 👀
Jaguars: "Challenged Accepted"
The Apex Predators are done evolving.
I love the goofy pics of the jaguar eating underwater.

"1 hour
, Many researchers have reported that the jaguars can hold their breath for as long as 1 hour approximately. They can also feed on fishes, turtles, eggs, frogs, crabs, lobsters, and anything else they can catch."

Those are no crocodiles. Those are caimans. Jaguars can't handle Australian or Nile Crocodiles!
Yea
well I'm not so sure, Jaguar have strong enough jaw to bite trought crocodiles skin and if they attack from above like they usually do i think they could even kill Australian and Nile crocodiles, but even with that ambush i don't think they're success rate of killing Australian and Nile crocodiles would be hight, maybe around 40% ? because Nile and Australian crocodiles are much larger than caimans and stronger too
I'd say they could since they are ambush hunters. But they'd die to the other 30 or so in the water. So it would take on one then lose to the others. But overall Nile and salty are big badasses
@@obsidianfrost9514 yea i think skilled and expirienced Jaguars could hunt Niles crocodiles and Australians if they arend in pack
@@dzabudzigibau8028 No they can’t, a Jaguar eating a 8 foot long 200lb caiman isn’t the same as eating a 20 foot long 1 tone crocodile.
Wow, amazing, that really makes them way more capable than we would assume they've mastered land and sea they're not crocodiles or wolves or tigers
Crocodile are animals, they don't know what "hate" is. We can say that they are instinctively pushed to run away when they see a jaguar
Those aren't crocodiles that the jaguars are hunting in S. America, they are Caiman.
That's what I thought.
If a jaguar ambushes a croc and bites the head, size won’t matter. No Jaguar will openly walk up to its prey, and no croc will kill with a perforated brain
@@josecuervo3351 You dont know what will happen because it never happened and it will never happen. Crocs and Alligators don't live in the same area's as Jaguars.
@@josecuervo3351 a jagaur even with an ambush would nto kill a black caiman
6:09 that subtle Skyrim reference. I love it.
That means if you ever unfortunately meet a grown Jaguar in the wild, no need to run. Climbing of trees will only make it more fun for the Jaguar 😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing 👏 I learned something new here jaguars can hold there breath for 20 long min now that's record breaking for any land animal
The jaguars to crocodiles are the definition of "the future is now old man."
Why th are y'all giving me an essay can y'all just take the meme and go ✋😭
Thats not a crocodile, it is a caiman
Crocodiles are a lot larger than caimans
Jaguar ain't a chance against a real crocodile. Those are only small caimans
First of all, that’s a caiman and Jaguars do not hunt black caiman, they hunt smaller caimans. If it was a black caiman the jaguar would’ve stand no chance. Black caimans are bigger than Jaguars and Jaguars are scared and stay away from them.
I believe the largest species of caiman, the black caiman, are about the size of american crocodile if somewhat smaller and jaguar stray away from them.
First time I saw a Jaguar hunting a cayman, I literally saluted the species!! Probably the strongest cat/animal of its size.
Jaguars hunt caimans not crocodiles because caimans are smaller and less aggressive than crocodiles and crocodiles have stronger armor than caimans so jaguars can’t hunt them
Most shocking part of this, for me, was finally seeing where crocs have ears!
😳
Its caiman
Educational and really funny.Loved it,ty
Isn't it just that Jaguars are OP. Amphibious build strongest cat jaws etc.
Tiger can solo hunt
Even fight
@@kylesoncool7134 jaguars also solo hunt
Their leg/jump power is unreal
Swim, strongest jaw, climb trees easily and are very agile, solo hunt. They are almost extinct only because of we humans.

When I was once swimming, I held my breath more than I thought it was cool
Love how evolution thought "ability to experience existential crises" was more important than "innate ability to swim". Being a human is so lame 😂.

Fun fact a Jaguar bites up to just as strong as a tiger and lion combined. They have the strongest bite out of all the big cats.
I once said jaguar was an animal in class, and everyone laughed at me, I will never forget that day

Progression bar set level up at 19 🤔
Anybody who's had a house cat for any appreciable length of time knows they do not spend most of their day grooming. They can sleep well over 12 hours a day, and some 18.
Grooming is quality time, though.
Even jaguars can swim,climb, run- BUT WHEN THERE IS ONLY ONE HABITAT THEY CANT SWIM......
LAVA :DD

Fun fact, duckbill platypus was once a jaguar, then evolution happened 🙃

"All animals can swim, except the higher apes."
Hippos don't swim, they just walk at the bottom of lakes. Also, Owls are very prone to drowning because they cannot swim. These aren't higher apes.
Hippos can swim actually.
@@hakuroneko3450 Well, you are right, but it's very often that they don't need to bother to swim since they're usually big enough to just touch the bottom of rivers anyways.

No they sink , he’s right
To me a Jaguar is the worlds best predator. Absolutely amazing.
Interesting video but I noticed you keep talking about interactions between Jaguars and Crocodiles. Although there are some crocs in the tropical areas of the Americas, Jaguars more often attack and eat Caimans. "A caiman is an alligatorid belonging to the subfamily Caimaninae, one of two primary lineages within Alligatoridae, the other being alligators". Caimans are only distantly related to crocodiles, which belong to a separate family under the order Crocodylia.
Jaguars are my favorite animal. So needless to say this is my favorite of all your videos
Lesson#1: Don't try to escape a jaguar by leaping into the water.
First of all, that’s a caiman and Jaguars do not hunt black caiman, they hunt smaller caimans. If it was a black caiman the jaguar would’ve stand no chance. Black caimans are bigger than Jaguars and Jaguars are scared and stay away from them.
