Definition
- 1(Panthera onca) Felino sudamericano de gran tamaño, el mayor del mundo tras el león y el tigre y una de las cuatro especies capaces de rugir gracias a la peculiar conformación de su hioides. Es distintiva su piel moteada con rosetas de color negro sobre fondo dorado, aunque existen ejemplares con melanismo, completamente negros. Son predadores solitarios, que cazan en la selva y junto a los ríos, sin tener competencia de ninguna otra especie en su ecosistema. Su mordida es especialmente poderosa, adaptada para partir el cráneo o el cuello de sus presas, incluso bestias de gran tamaño como la anaconda.
