Jaguar's Bite
Jaguar's are the only members of the Big Cat family that are located in the Americas.
Jaguars are solitary hunters who prefer dense jungles and actually enjoy swimming. They can be found as far south as northern Argentina and as far north as Mexico. There is even a known population in Arizona. Because jaguar’s are Big Cats, they can roar. Small and medium cats purr. A jaguar’s coat can easily be confused with other spotted cats, particularly the leopards. Both leopards and jaguar’s have a black rosettes (circle) on a tawny yellow. However, the jaguar will often have one or more dot inside of those rosettes. Leopards do not have dots inside the rosettes. One very interesting point of the jaguar is their preferred killing method. The jaguar has a particularly strong jaw which allows it to bite right through the skull of it’s prey. This is a unique killing style among cats.
This is a traditional cache located in a heavily wooded area a bit north of 28th Street. Parking may be a bit tricky, please obey no parking signs. Have fun!
A note on terrain: Depending on the time of year terrain can vary greatly. During spring and summer lots of weeds and heavy growth probably make it more like a 4. During late summer and fall or winter much of this growth has died off and terrain is probably more like a 3. Obviously heavy snow would effect terrain as well.
