On Camera, Woman Gives Bath To Jaguar. Internet Loves Their Bond

Wildlife videos always grab the attention of the internet. Generally, their majestic bodies, their eccentric behaviour or the way they hunt prey often send the social media users into a frenzy. But recently a human interaction with a jaguar has taken the internet by storm and left many stunned.

A heart-stopping clip has surfaced on the internet which shows a woman giving a bath to a jaguar. The account Amazing Nature has recently captured an astonishing moment of a brave woman giving a bath to a jaguar as if it were a pet cat. The feline stood calmly in the tub as the woman used a pipe to clean the big cat by rubbing her hands. Jaguars are known for their immense speed and powerful bite that can bite through the thick crocodile skin and even break the hard shells of turtles. Hence, seeing the clip, people were quite shocked.

The video has amassed 9.4 million views on X, formerly known as Twitter. The footage has left viewers both stunned and alarmed, sparking a flurry of reactions online. A social media user joked at the woman’s bathing skills and wrote, “The spots don’t come out”. Another commented, “It’s too hot outside please take care of these animals.” One more wrote, “The big cat enjoying a bath.” “Hang on, I thought jaguars were just black leopards”, commented another. There was a section of the internet that admired the woman’s brave act, while others feared that wild animals’ behaviour is unpredictable and can attack her based on their instincts.

Reportedly, jaguars, love the water. They are native to Central and South America, where water is abundant and hence, these wild cats have learned to love it. On hot summer days, Jaguars have often been spotted taking a bath and splashing around in a water body, occasionally fishing even. The water offers a sensory experience to these felines and refreshes them. They can quench their thirst and keep themselves clean by taking a bath, as they deem fit.
