It lives in [[South America|South]] and [[Central America]]. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the [[tiger]] and the [[lion]]. It is also the largest and most powerful feline in the [[Western Hemisphere]]. Because of its spots, jaguars look like [[leopards]], though it is usually larger and stronger, and its behavior is more like that of a [[tiger]]. It likes to stay near [[water]], and like the [[tiger]], it is famous for being a big cat that enjoys [[swimming]]. It usually hunts alone. The jaguar has a very powerful strong bite, even compared to other big cats.<ref name=Bite>{{cite journal | author = Stephen Wroe, Colin McHenry, and Jeffrey Thomason | title = Bite club: comparative bite force in big biting mammals and the prediction of predatory behavior in fossil taxa | year = 2006 | journal = Proceedings of the Royal Society B |publisher=[[Royal Society]] | volume = 272 |issue=1563 | pmid = 15817436 |pages=619–625 | pmc = 1564077 | accessdate = 2006-08-07 | url = http://www.bio.usyd.edu.au/staff/research/swroe/Wroeetal2005Biteclub.pdf | doi = 10.1098/rspb.2004.2986|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20060921111410/http://www.bio.usyd.edu.au/staff/research/swroe/Wroeetal2005Biteclub.pdf |archivedate = September 21, 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref> Because of its strong bite, jaguars can bite [[capybara]]s, [[Brazilian tapir]], peccaries, [[giant anteater]]s, [[tamandua]]s, through [[armour]]ed [[reptile]]s like [[caiman]]s, [[crocodile]]s, [[turtle]]s and [[tortoise]]s.<ref name=HAMDIG>{{cite web | url = http://www.ecology.info/ecology-jaguar-puma.htm | first = Paul | las
