Depredation by Jaguars on Caimans and Importance of Reptiles in the Diet of Jaguar
Journal of Herpetology, 2010The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest Neotropical felid and in many parts of its range reptiles form a significant but relatively minor component of its diet.

Were-jaguars and jaguar babies in Olmec religion
2010The problem of Olmec iconography has troubled scholars for years. The “Jaguar Baby” motif is inseparable in its motivation from all other known Olmec objects but has never been subject to scholarly consensus.

This chapter employs the verse analysis method developed by Dell Hymes to analyze an Amazonian Quichua myth-narrative, “The Twins and the Jaguars,” from the province of Napo. The narrative's theme, “becoming a jaguar,” is expressed through a rhetorical logic of onset, ongoing, and outcome that unfolds as a structural transformation relation between ...

It is not uncommon these days for archaeologists to be challenged to take a stand on whether political development is driven by material or ideological factors (e.g., Demarest, 1989; Demarest and Conrad, 1993; Hodder, 1991; Miller and Tilley, 1984; Shanks and Tilley, 1987). We doubt, however, that polarizing the debate in this fashion leads to a better

A t first look, the third-largest cat in the world after the tiger and the lion seems to closely resemble the spotted leopard, which follows it in the big cat hierarchy. But with its massive head, stocky build, and relatively short tail, the jaguar is strikingly different and much more imposing than the leopard—structurally more akin to the tiger.
