According to experts, the jaguar (Panthera onca) has the most powerful jaw among felines, and is the largest feline in the American continent, according to the NGO Pró-Carnívoros.
The jaguar’s bite is so powerful that not even the armor of alligators can withstand it, and the reptile becomes an easy prey for the feline. Therefore, it’s not surprising that the jaguar won the chilling fight recorded in the video.
