Bengal Tiger?

http://www.indialine.com/travel/images/sunderbans-royal-bengal-tiger.jpg


The Royal Bengal Tiger scientifically called "Panthera Tigris Tigris" is found in India, Bangladesh and less abundantly found in Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and southern Tibet. It is notoriously known to have a roar that can be heard up to three kilometers. They have a coat of orange fur with black stripes. They are about six feet long.

The diet of the bengal consists of deer and rabbits however a few become maneaters because of the loss of prey.

They live alone and fiercely mark their territory by spraying urine on to leaves and trees to keep off rivals. They are currently endangered due to illegal poaching and hunting and in the wild they live from 8-10 years.

Tigresses produce 2-6 cubs when they mate. They will agressively protect their cubs in any case of danger.

Puma

What is a Cougar?

A cougar is an animal that is also classified as a mountain lion or puma or panther. It lives in North America espessially in the mountains. Even though it is so big is is related to small felines and it belongs to the family Felinae. It is the largest of the small cats. Although it resembles the domestic cat, it is about the size of an adult human. It can be almost as big as a jaguar but it is less muscled and powerful. Cougars are mostly ambush predators feeding on deer and other small prey.

Female cougars are fiercly protective of their kittens and will fight off a grizzly bear in their defence. But still the kitten survival rates are just 1 per litter. Life expectancy is between 8 to 13 years but may live to be as long as 20 years in captivity. Causes of death are from hunting, competition with other cougars and diseases.

Cougars have been hybrid to make pumapard. A hybrid between leopard and puma.

Jaguars

http://www.free-picture-graphic.org.uk/close-up-of-jaguar-cat.htm

The Jaguar is the largest cat the the western hemisphere and weighs from 250 pounds on. It is about 5 1/2 to 8 feet long with tail. It lives in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Mexico, Central, and South America, though it is very rare in the United States. The Jaguar is not at all hesitant to enter water though many others of its family hate water. The Jaguar habitat ranges from dense rainforest to flooded swamy areas.

The jaguar will eat anything that it can hunt but usually likes to hunt bigger prey like capybara and tapirs. It usually kills prey by piercing their skulls with its sharp canines.

So what is the difference between a leopard and a jaguar? Well a jaguar has a much stockier body and is shorted in length than the leopard. Their patterns are also different. A jaguar has circles with dots in the middle while leopards have spots.

Their home range is for males 19 to 53 square miles and for females 10 to 37 square miles. Thats a big home but that is all they use in their whole life. Compared to humans it is not that much.

Fun Jaguar Facts
- Poaching and habitat destruction are the main cases of the jaguar being an endangered species.
- Jaguars mainly hunt at night.
- jaguar’s name means “a beast that kills its prey with a single bound.”
- A jaguar’s roar sounds like a deep, chesty rough cough.(Something like that)
- Melanistic jaguar have been mistakenly called “black panthers.” Black panthers do not exist.
