Question

Please please helppp meee A mammalogist is studying the behavior of the rain forest jaguar. She spots a jaguar

crouched on a tree branch in the understory, waiting to pounce on a rain forest herbivore
called a tapir. The hair of the jaguar is white with black spots. The jaguar has learned the
habits of this tapir, and he knows it uses this trail each evening. The cat is panting in the
steamy heat to stay cool, and its muscles tense as the tapir approaches. The jaguar pounces
and stabs its prey with long, sharp incisors. Although its meal is large, it will need to hunt
and eat again in a day or two to ward off its hunger.
Compose a four-to five-sentence paragraph that summarizes the general mammal
characteristics you can identify from the details of the story about the jaguar.

Answer 1

The rainforest jaguar, exhibits a well-known mammal characteristic, as it waits for its opportunity to pounce on its prey. Mammals are known to be dominant in its environment, actively seeking its targets. Furthermore, the hairs on the jaguar would be an indicator of its status as a mammal. As mammals are known to have hair, and it is thus a mammal characteristic. They are known to be warm blooded, and one instance in the passage that hints at the jaguar's warm bloodedness would be when it pants in order to stay cool.

Note:

this is really vague lol, since I don't know your teacher's lesson plan, so I'm not sure what mammal characteristics are pointing towards (biological, or behavioral?) so note that this response might not be what your teacher is looking for.
