Figure 1 The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the third largest cat of the world and the most powerful predator in the Americas. Photographs: Vidal Haddad Jr and Domingos Garrone Neto.

Figure 2 The attack in Case 1 was provoked by the victim's dogs that hunted the jaguar. Brazilian Indians kill jaguars to demonstrate power and prestige (see the necklace with the claws). Note the victim's scars. Photographs: Domingos Garrone Neto.

Figure 3 This violent attack by a jaguar on a tourist could have killed the victim, who presented with severe lesions in the cephalic segment, with fractures and loss of cranium bone fragments and cerebral tissue (Case 2). This was classified as a predatory attack. Photographs: Manoel Francisco de Campos Neto.
