Thirsty Jaguar at the River’s Edge

A strong young jaguar lowers his big, spotted head close to a winding riverbank. His nose almost touches the water as his long tongue laps up a cool drink. He pauses, ears pointed and eyes bright, watching crooked ripples spread out from his whiskers.

Plump paws press into the mud, leaving deep tracks at the shore. Dappled shadows from his thick shapes cover his fur all the way to his twitchy striped tail. Every spot seems to wiggle with the water’s shimmering light, making the big cat look right at home by the river’s edge.

Fun Fact!

Adult jaguars typically have no natural predators except for humans.
