Trail 2 - Jaheed the Jaguar

Jaheed the Jaguar is one of the most powerful PREDATORS in the jungle.

Like most big cats, jaguars enjoy water. Jaguars are strong swimmers, and will follow their prey into the water during the chase!

Despite being feared in the jungle for his amazing hunting skills, all jaguars like Jaheed are ENDANGERED. This means that the survival of the species is threatened, and that their numbers are less than they used to be. Many species are endangered because when the rainforest is cut down, they have nowhere to live and their food becomes scarce.

Other animals such as hairy gorillas, giant long-nosed anteaters, the strange sounding Amazon umbrella bird, and the Queen Alexandra's bird-wing butterfly (who, as their name suggests have butterfly wings as big as birds wings), are endangered, among many others.
