This close-up profile of a jaguar (panthera onca) is one of two that you will find at the Jaguar Cove at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington. Their range is from Mexico through South America. It is estimated only 10,000 still live in the wild and their number is dwindling. Jaguar, the name for this nocturnal hunter, is a Native American word meaning “killer that takes its prey in a single bound.”
