Nice low angle. Jaguar doesn't look very relaxed - what's going on?

How do they compare to leopards, size wise?

He was looking to the other side of the river where there was a Capybara hiding among some vines and branches. The Jaguar proceed and swam across the river, successfully attacking and killing it. Unfortunately all this action happened just beyound our camera's reach, behind the vines. I do have some pics where it's possible to see some of it.

As far as size with Leopards, they are quite a lot bigger and much "stronger", specially those in the Pantanal.

The intent look in the eyes really makes it for me, and the nice light.
