 ==History==
-The jaguar first appears in Hack 1.21, which is based on [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]]. In this game, it uses the {{white|J}} glyph; from Hack for PDP-11 and [[Hack 1.0]] to [[NetHack 2.3e]], it uses the {{white|j}} glyph. [[NetHack 3.0.0]] moves the jaguar to the feline monster class and gives it its current glyph.

 ==Origin==
@@ Line 38: / Line 37: @@
 The jaguar (''Panthera onca'') is a large cat species of the genus ''Panthera'', and is the only living member native to the Americas. With a body length of up to 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) and a weight of up to 158 kg (348 lb), it is the biggest cat species in the Americas and the third-largest in the world. A jaguar has a distinctively marked coat that features pale yellow to tan colored fur, covered by spots that transition to rosettes on the sides; some jaguars instead have a melanistic black coat.
-The jaguar inhabits a variety of forested and open terrains, but its preferred habitat is tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest, wetlands and wooded regions - its range extends from the Southwestern United States across Mexico and much of Central America, the Amazon rainforest and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. The jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of indigenous peoples of the Americas, including those of the Aztec and Maya civilizations.
+The jaguar inhabits a variety of forested and open terrains, but its preferred habitat is tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest, wetlands and wooded regions&mdash;its range extends from the Southwestern United States across Mexico and much of Central America, the Amazon rainforest and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. The jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of indigenous peoples of the Americas, including those of the Aztec and Maya civilizations.
 Jaguars are adept swimmers and largely solitary apex predators that hunt opportunistically, preferring stalk-and-ambush tactics. The jaguar has a powerful bite that allows it to pierce the carapaces of turtles and tortoises, and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of mammalian prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain. As a keystone species, it plays an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and in regulating prey populations&mdash;it is also threatened by habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and poaching for trade, and has been listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List since 2002.
