Previously I have discussed on the geographical distribution and physical apperances of Leopard, Jaguar and Cheetah....but how about their Hunting and Feeding Behaviours.
LEOPARD
Leopards are the cleverest among the three big cats.
They kill their prey by a suffocating bite.
I AM CLEVEREST
It is the only big cat known to carry its prey up into a tree; which sometimes up to 3 times their own weight where it will be safe from competing predators such as hyenas or lions; or often hide their kills in dense vegetation.
JAGUAR
Jaguar is the strongest among the three big cats, with a much broader forehead and wider jaw.
I AM STRONGEST
They kill their prey by crushing the spinal column. Jaguar has the strongest bite-force of any member of CAT family – even stronger than lions and tiger.
CHEETAH
CHEETAH
Cheetah’s body is thin and lanky. They are the only cats without fully retractable claws which enables them to have a better traction in running. All these features enable a cheetah to be the fastest land animal ( 112 – 120 km/h); but they can only maintain high speed for a short period of time.
I AM FASTEST
They kill their prey by tripping it during the chase, then biting it on the underside of throat to suffocate it. They are not strong enough to break but can only puncture a vital artery in the necks of the four-legged prey it mainly hunt.
Anyway, I just found out that the fastest land animal is not CHEETAH....
see for yourself! you'll be amazed!
