They have six legs ; the first pair is short and stubby while the other two pairs are thin and elongated which are used for moving over the water surface which we call "walking on water".
The jaguar also preys on livestock in cattle ranching areas where wild prey is scarce. [77] [78] The daily food requirement of a captive jaguar weighing 34 kg (75 lb) was estimated at 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) of meat.

Several plants, including nightshade, become more toxic as they wilt and die, posing a danger to horses eating dried hay or plant matter blown into their pastures. [3] The risk of animals becoming ill during the fall is increased, as many plants slow their growth in preparation for winter, and equines begin to browse on the remaining plants.
These associations with water and plants further reinforce the notion of the jaguar as a god of fertility. The jaguar is further associated with vegetation and fertility by the Maya with what is known as the Waterlily jaguar, which is depicted as having water lilies sprouting from its head (Benson 1998:64-67).
Another insect known to walk on the water surface is the ant species Polyrhachis sokolova. The pygmy gecko (Coleodactylus amazonicus), due to its small size and hydrophobic skin, is also able to walk on the water surface. [2] According to biophysicist David L. Hu, there are at least 342 species of water striders. [3]
