Disney's True-Life Adventure film on the S. American Jaguar
The "Jungle Cat" referred to in this 1960 Walt Disney True-Life Adventure is the jaguar of South America. The film begins by tracing the domestic cat of today back to the cave drawings and primitive paintings of the various species of felines throughout the ages. The great cats around the world are shown before we turn our attention to the jaguar, the greatest hunter of them all. In the jungles of South America we get to see a pair of jaguars hunt down a peccary, tease an alligator, but get outsmarted by a sloth. Later we see the jaguars take on a boa constrictor and the mother jaguar take time out to teach her youngster how to swim. This 70-minute documentary-feature drags a bit at places, which is not surprising since it covers the same sort of ground as its predecessors "The African Lion" and "White Wilderness," but as with the entire True-Life Adventure series, the photography is first-rate. Children are still going to be fascinated by seeig how these animals live. "Jungle Cat" was directed by James Algar, but it is photographers James R. Simon, Hugh A. Wilmar, and Lloyd Beebe who deserve the credit for capturing these scenes on film. "Jungle Cat", which proved to be the last film in the True-Life Adventure series, is narrated by Winston Hibler.

Exciting, educational and highly entertaining!!!
I saw this film several times in 1960. I can't forget it, and really want a copy for my grandchildren. I'm sure they'll like its accurate protrayal of a Jaguar's life in the jungle just as much as I do.
