Facts About the Jaguar (A Picture Book For Kids)

One of the most interesting facts I learned in this book is that they live in swampy areas of Central and South America (especially the Amazon). They used to live in the southern US but have disappeared due to losing their habitat. It is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest globally (after the tiger and lion).

The gorgeous photos make these jaguars look cuddly, but the author warns they are anything but warm and cuddly. These are fascinating animals, and the author's description is engaging.
