The average male jaguar weighs about 120 pounds, but some individuals can weigh as much as 300. Jaguars are most famous for their beautiful spotted coats. The spots are broken rather than true spots like a leopard. These allow the jaguar to hide amongst the grasses, bushes and trees. They use their excellent vision and sharp teeth to ambush prey and crush their skulls, and use their padded paws to move through the forest. Jaguars are capable of climbing trees to hunt or to rest.They are even able to hunt monkeys and other tree-dwellers who occasionally wander to lower branches.
