Their habitat27 total reviews
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I really enjoyed your poem about jaguars! You did a great job of sharing their incredible qualities. Like their love for swimming - I had no idea! I also like how you shared the details about their habitat destruction. Your poem made me appreciate these amazing creatures even more. Keep up the wonderful work!

Michael,
Thank you for the great review. The jaguars are amazing cats and one of the few who enjoy the water. I had no idea either before I did some research on them.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a good poem about a magnificent animal. I had no idea their numbers were so good. If they are the premier animal, humans may be the only one to top them. This is good but your choice of words isn't quite as good as usual.

Great picture. Jaguars are such beautiful animals and your poem stresses the importance of maintaining their habitat. It's so sad that poachers kill them for their claws and teeth. (I can't believe that in Asia they boil them whole.) Nicely done, giving us information on these beautiful animals.

Comment from Kirsten Shonle
This is a very informative poem and a great ode to jaguars. I can't believe they are poached. That surprised me. How sad that people kill animals for the sport of collecting the animals skin. I love big cats. I enjoyed this read.

Those are majestic animals. It is good that they are not currently endangered. Again, mankind can us there, though. Your poem is informative and well written, as is your author's note. Evi

Evi,
Thank you for the great review. If man keeps messing with their habitat these cats will find themselves on that list. For now they are holding their own.

Nicki,
Thank you for the wonderful review. I find writing poems on subjects I enjoy makes the poem come together quickly. Truth be told I have been working on this one for awhile. Here again once I got the first stanza down it was easy going.

Thank you for your informative poem on jaguars. They are beautiful animals and I'm glad that they aren't endangered but with humans, it's not safe for any of them. I was surprised that you used a number like 173,000 in your poem - that's so many syllables!

Helen,
Thank you for the wonderful review. I am glad you enjoyed this poem. The jaguars are safe for now, but if man keeps messing with their habitat it won't be long before they end up on the endangered list.

Comment from jake cosmos aller
interesting poem. what is the difference between Leopards, Pumas, Panthers and Jaguars? Co-Pilot provided some answers
Of course! Here's the plain-text version for easy copying and pasting:
Cougars, mountain lions, and pumas are all different names for the same species, Puma concolor. The name varies depending on the region: Cougar is commonly used in North America, Mountain Lion is popular in the western United States, and Puma is the term used in South America.
Leopards are a distinct species, Panthera pardus, found in Africa and Asia. They are known for their spotted coats and are part of the Panthera genus, which includes lions, tigers, and jaguars.
Panthers is a catch-all term that can refer to different big cats depending on the context. In the Americas, panther sometimes refers to cougars, especially the Florida panther, a subspecies of cougar. In Africa and Asia, panther often refers to leopards, particularly black leopards (melanistic leopards). In the Americas, black panther can also refer to melanistic jaguars.
Jaguars are a distinct species, Panthera onca, native to Central and South America. They are the largest cats in the Americas and are known for their powerful build and rosette-patterned coats.
Key differences include species (cougars, mountain lions, pumas are
Puma concolor, while leopards and jaguars belong to the Panthera genus), geography (cougars are native to the Americas, leopards to Africa and Asia, jaguars to Central and South America), and appearance (leopards and jaguars have spotted coats, while cougars have a solid tan color. Black panthers are melanistic versions of leopards or jaguars).
Let me know if you'd like further clarification!

Comment from Rick Gardner
The wonders will never end, they sleep with us, roam with us. All felids dominate, kill with no mercy, hang their prey up in trees so larger felids can not take their kills away. One time saved a dying black jaguar from death, removed bones from its intestinal tract. The next day it didn't like me, no exam or petting was allowed. Knew it would live without me. Didn't need me anymore.

Comment from teafor2
Cecilia, if recollection serves me correctly, this is the very first animal that you've covered that isn't on the endangered list (knock on wood)...The
monosyllabic rhymes of stanzas 1 and 5 gives those two strophes a lyrical
feel. Good to read a positive head count:-) teafor2

teafor2,
Thank you for the wonderful review. You are correct my friend this is the first animal I have written about that is not on the endangered species list. I am working on a whole collection of animals and hope to publish them someday.
