I am a Jaguar, I am known for my spotted fur, long athletic frame, and hunting skills.  I spend most of my days sleeping in the jungles of Costa Rica.  I am a nocturnal carnivore which means I hunt for my meals at night and I only eat meat.  I get my daily excercise from hunting in the jungles for my prey.  Although I am at the top of my food chain I still get hunted by humans year-round for my fur coat and because of this I am an endangered species.  If I am in a situation of being captured I will usually fight back or flee and find a large tree where I can hide and wait.  My life span is 12-15 years but in captivity I can live up to 23 years, if I'm not killed by hunters my most prolific cause of death is old age.
