The extraordinary jaw of the jaguar (Panthera onca) allows it to attack eighty-five of the toughest animal species such as caimans, tapirs, turtles, armadillos... Its impressively large skull shelters large muscles at the top of its head and along its jaws. As for its rather short jaws, they act like shears by concentrating the force on the joint point of the jaws where the two dental arches meet. The force of the bite which results from these anatomical particularities of the jaguar corresponds to seven times the weight of the animal.
