If I'm not mistaken, jaguars have a stronger bite than even lions or tigers.
The jaguar has an exceptionally powerful bite, even relative to the other big cats.[3] This allows it to pierce the shells of armored reptiles[4] and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal bite to the brain.[5]
That's one bad ass animal.
The Maya knew it, and had a jaguar God.
