Felis Onca, also known as the jaguar, is a magnificent big cat found primarily in Central and South America. In English, Felis Onca is synonymous with the word jaguar, but in Spanish, it is commonly referred to as el tigre or simply tigre, despite not being closely related to the tiger. In Portuguese, it is known as onça-pintada, and in French, it is called le jaguar. Other synonyms for Felis Onca include the American leopard and the black panther, the latter being a rare genetic variation of the species found primarily in tropical rainforests. No matter what it's called, the Felis Onca is a powerful and striking predator that commands attention and respect.
