Jaguars

For a perfect subject in your interior decoration, try one of the most enigmatic of felines in the world. Make your rooms pop with Photowall's superb array of jaguars wall murals. JagRead moreuars are the largest of South America's big cats and the third largest cats in the world. Their fur is usually tan or orange with black spots, called "rosettes" because they are shaped like roses. You will witness plenty of this in our jaguars wall murals. Unlike many other cats, jaguars do not avoid water. As a matter of fact, they are quite good swimmers and rivers provide them prey in the form of fish, turtles or caimans. Jaguars also eat larger animals such as deer, peccaries, capybaras and tapirs. They sometimes climb trees to prepare an ambush, killing their prey with one powerful bite. Their size, strength and predatory skills are on proud display here in jaguars wall murals. Any residential, recreational and even corporate space would benefit from having jaguars wall murals on their walls.

Jaguars wall murals as symbols

Throughout time, inhabitants of Mesoamerica, the geographic region comprising Mexico and Central America, all worshipped the jaguar. To their ancient people, the jaguar was more than just an animal, it was divine. Almost every ancient Mesoamerican civilization revered the jaguar in some way. We can all see why when looking at these jaguars wall murals. The Olmec, for example, heavily featured jaguars in their art and religion. The jaguar was also an icon for the brave hunter and warrior, who created military orders of jaguar soldiers. Gods, kings, warriors, and priests added the jaguar epithet to their names, burnishing their reputations with a symbol of prestige and power. "Jaguar Head" is a jaguars wall mural that really encapsulates the power, mystery and charisma this big cat exudes. Another jaguars wall mural that generates maximum visual impact is "Wild Male Jaguar".

Background information

The word jaguar comes from the indigenous word "yaguar", which means "he who kills with one leap"! That badass moniker alone is already worth getting jaguars wall murals for yourself. These stealthy hunters with camouflaging coats and eyes that can see in the dark, easily take down prey anywhere. Whether this is up in the trees, down on the ground or even swimming in rivers, they will get their food. This ferociousness and versatility are great traits to have and to display in the form of our beautiful jaguars wall murals. Did you know that jaguars have a more powerful bite than any other big cat? Their teeth are strong enough to bite through the thick hides of crocodilians and the hard shells of turtles. Jaguars are also often mistaken for leopards, but you can tell the difference from their rosettes. You will notice in jaguars wall murals that they have black dots in the middle of some of their rosettes, whereas leopards do not. Jaguars also have larger, rounded heads and short legs.

Impact of jaguars wall murals

Jaguars used to be found from south-west USA, throughout South America to almost the far north in Argentina. Now, the jaguars’ stronghold is in Brazil which may hold around half of the estimated 170,000 wild jaguars. Jaguars wall murals can act as your gateway into looking up how to help preserve this gorgeous creature. Contrary to popular belief, the black panther is not actually a species, but a common name used to refer to any big cat with a black coat. The colouring is a genetic variant seen in several species of big cats. Although this type of melanism is most common in jaguars, a study has found that it has been documented in 13 other species of big cats. See the effect of this natural occurrence in jaguars wall murals like "Black Jaguar".
