Somewhere in Central America, a large American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is ready to show a hapless jaguar who really stands at the top of the food chain!
Almost every article on jaguars lists crocodilians as among their prey, so I thought it only fair to depict a moment in which the tables got turned. Although American crocodiles don’t seem to have the fearsome reputation as their cousins the Nile and saltwater crocodiles, they do take large prey such as cattle from time to time, and males of the species can get quite big, with recorded maximums of twenty feet in length and two thousand pounds in weight. Since jaguars by comparison seldom weight more than three hundred and fifty pounds, it seems probable to me that they would fall within the prey range of American crocs.
