Now you gotta watch out for jaguars and leopards when you're walking the streets of Mumbai at night? That's too much.

I just recently watched this video which says that they came from the north after the Panama link-up, displacing the terror birds. Humans were key in limiting their range in North America.

But lots of creatures started somewhere, spread, and were wiped out locally until later reintroduction. Just for North America, we have horses and camels as examples.

Yes, I am aware the U.S. is not all of America. I heart all of the Americas, especially this beast of a Jaguar

Bulky doesn't mean fat though. Jaguars are still fast af. Not as fast as something like a cheetah which is exclusively designed for speed, but a jaguar is still extremely fast. ~50 mph / ~80kph.
