Jaguars live in the rain forest where there are many rivers, swamps, ponds and lakes. Although Jaguars are categorized in the cat family, they have adapted to different bodies of water, unlike most cats. This characteristic makes them able to catch prey in the water such as caiman, fish and turtles. Jaguars have short limbs, a muscular body and strong jaws, making it easy to catch large prey with one bite to the neck. Also, Jaguars have adapted climbing skills for when the forest floor gets flooded. When it does, Jaguars can adapt and live in a tree for many months. This is a picture of a jaguar in the rain forest. It is probably creeping around to get prey by the way its body form is.
