Can a jaguar bite through a human skull?

Best Answers

A human skull is less than 1cm thick. A caiman/crocodile skull can be over 5cm thick. Jaguars kill crocodilians and large mammals like tapirs (weighing up to 300kg) by perforating the cranium or crushing/severing the cervical vertebrae, and they can easily go through turtle shells and armadillos. read more

Without a doubt, they Jaguar has enough power in it's jaws to bite through a skull. I just don't understand why they don't go for a more vulnerable area like other big cats do. read more

Jaguars do not primarily bite the skull to kill their prey, but instead bite at the nape of the neck to break the spine. This also holds true with many similar solitary species of cats who mainly attack prey from ambush and/or from a height. read more
