Interesting Black Panther fact: A black panther is a black colour form of a large cat, be it a leopard, jaguar, tiger or possibly cougar.

Looks like the one in this clip is a leopard.

Or, the croc got so bored he fell asleep. >> ^boblobblaw:

I highly doubt it was drowning either. I think a more plausible explanation would be that the jaguar pierced the top of the croc's skull with its teeth.
>> ^iaui:
I'm not sure that crocodile was drowning ... some crocodiles can stay under water for upwards of two hours, some even longer. Perhaps if it was caught off guard before it could breathe in and prepare for a dive it might drown? Or perhaps the jaguar footage was really over a couple of hours long and it just stood there holding the crocodile underwater that whole time and the editor just didn't want to make us watch that length of film... (:

Jaguar versus crocodile:

>> ^lucky760:

Crocodiles are afraid of lions? Whoa. That blows my mind.


There's a video out there of a jaguar drowning a crocodile. Just grabs it and pins it under the water. Big cats are not to be fucked with.

Jaguar Kittens are cute but seriously WTF was that other animal.

When I see species from under the ocean that I don't recognize, I can understand that. Maybe even really small Mammals. But I thought I saw it all when it came to large mammals and that binturong or whatever was just wow.

Jaguar the car is a British brand - maybe whoever named it after the cat got the cat's name wrong, but it then because a new pronoun of their choice. I had assumed aluminium followed the same naming convention as many materials ("ium"), this is probably what the anonymous jackass also thought. Also, in fairness, Iraq and Iran were probably named after some ancient name - if the Brits had come up with names from scratch, they'd be called New Essex and New Weston-super-Mare. Which would be odd.

Germany's not a mispronunciation of Deutschland in the same way as Cue-ba is so it seems less offensive IMHO, but it still doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

I don't mind most Americanisms, I see them as the evolution of language. However, in the case of proper nouns, it does bug me; if it's a British word, they are as objectively wrong as language can be.
Jag-u-ar. Ir-aq. Ir-an. Al-u-min-i-um. Car-i-bbe-an.
Edit: Oh yes, spelt is valid English. Only US English does away with it in favour of "spelled".


Except aluminium was called aluminum by the chemist who discovered it, Humphry Davy, in his 1812 book which publicized the metal. It was some anonymous jackass writing a review of Davy's book who decided to change it to aluminium because he didn't like the sound of Davy's choice.

Jaguar is a Portuguese word and I believe their pronunciation is closer to "jag-war" than "jag-you-are".

But generally, I agree with you. I still say catch myself saying "eye-rack" and "eye-ran" instead of "ee-rock" and "ee-ron". I go back and forth on the emphasis on Caribbean. It's hard to break old habits.
