If we eat an animal that is still alive, we are monsters.

But if they do it, they are beautiful creatures of nature.

It's unfair!

a wild tiger was spotted in North Korea - China border region.
i saw a travel vlogger biking along this region and they have huge ass signs everywhere warning that this area is tiger habitats.

The Pantanal is the world's largest freshwater wetland, a biodiverse ecosystem spanning Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It is characterized by its seasonal flooding, which creates a dynamic landscape of rivers, lagoons, and savannas.

Shere Khan vs Baloo

She was born in a zoo and taken home by her current owners because of some health issues, similarly to Messi, so I'd imagine she's at least a little bit smaller than a wild leopard.

The Jaguar, the most powerful animal in America.

Imagine being an aquatic predator and losing to a cat in your own territory.

They are out of frame, but little Gerdusya here is actually wearing custom-fitted snowboots.
She is very happy.

Cheetahs are the best at all of these things. Their speed is simply too superior.

>running
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal and indeed, the fastest living organism ever to exist. They're roughly tied with some newer fighter jets.

>Swimming
Cheetahs can simply run atop the water, they have no need for swimming. But were they to swim their highly aerodynamic bodies would simply repel the water like Moses parting the Red Sea.

>Climbing
With a running start a cheetah can climb any surface just with sheer momentum. Climbing is just running but vertical, so it makes sense that they'd be good at it.

>Fighting
You can't hit what you can't see, in any real fight with another cat (the runner up) the tiger would just exhaust itself chasing the cheetahs afterimage the whole time, and then the cheetah would materialize behind the exhausted rug-to-be to deal the killing blow.

>Hunting
Cheetahs have a 99% hunt success rate, and that 1% left over doesn't really count because the cheetah was feeling under the weather that day. Cheetahs also have over 300 confirmed kills and are trained in gorilla warfare.

Like I said, no contest.

They already exist, you just need to lovingly hand-raise one for multiple years and spend unfathomable amounts of money on their food, enclosures, and vet bills.

It's natural when there's no competition for food and no one can take it from you.
Furthermore, most jaguars live in the most fertile and biodiverse areas in the world.

They don't look as buff as pumas
>>
>>5080191
Pumas have thinner fur, which makes them appear more muscular.

But jaguars, being larger than pumas, are more muscular.

Profoundly beautiful face, particularly the eyes.

>>5072800
>Running
Cheetah for sheer acceleration, Puma for covering long distances every day across potentially any type of terrain, but none are really built to chase prey to exhaustion like humans or wolves
>Swimming (voluntarily)
Jaguar, then tiger
>Climbing
Leopard for pure tree climbing speed, they're also specialists at ambushing prey by leaping down from branches, snow leopard for handling really dangerous, snowy mountain ridges
>Fighting
Tiger, size matters
>Hunting
A cheetah can reach 60% success rate, lions can take on really large prey by working together
>>
this is a 'marbled cat'.
their back coat looks like clouded leopards' and legs have dotted patterns.
it's insane how many feline species there are.

Cheetahs are masters of deception, that is only another plus
