A bit about the black Jaguar (cat, not the car)

[packman]

As for the mythology and legends, the jaguar was seen as a god in Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala, in pre-Columbian America. The Mayans, Aztecs, and Inca all worshiped the jaguar in some form. In the pantheon, the jaguar god was second only to the snake god in religious importance. At the Temple of the Jaguar at Chichen Itza, the king had to walk beneath a frieze of a procession of jaguars during his coronation ceremony.

In Mayan mythology, the jaguar was seen as the ruler of the Underworld, and as such, a symbol of the night sun and darkness. There were Mayan priests called Balam who officiated at only the most important ceremonies. Along with the Aztecs and Mayans, the Inca also built temples to the jaguar.

The jaguar is representative of power, ferocity, and valor; he is the embodiment of aggressiveness.

NOTE: Pix above is jaguar is melanistic, meaning it has an overproduction of pigment in its fur.

These are often erroneously called 'black panthers'.

The two big cats that can have melanism are jaguars and leopards, though black jaguars are much more common as the melanism allele is dominant where in leopards it is recessive.
