Black Jaguar Figurine Toy for Kids

Interestingly, the shade of black jaguars fur can vary depending on their genetic makeup. Since the allele (alternative form of a gene) that makes their fur color black is dominant, jaguars with two of those dominant alleles will be darker than jaguars with only one. History: Although you might think otherwise, a black coat is actually disadvantageous for a jaguar, despite them being nighttime hunters. The reason for this is that it's much harder for most animals to spot a patterned figured amidst foliage, which is why most large cats have stripes and spots. Scientific Name: Panthera onca Characteristics: As dark and as silent as the night itself, this stealthy black jaguar toy is on the prowl for prey. Size: 4 inches long and 1.95 inches tall, this black jaguar toy model is a little longer and about the same height as a credit card stood upright.
