| | Jaguars in Mesoamerican culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | One of the most prominent figures to appear in the archaeological record has been what archaeologists call the "were-jaguar". | | | The jaguar is said to possess the transient ability of moving between worlds because of its comfort in the trees and the water, their ability to hunt as well in the nighttime as in the daytime, and their habit of sleeping in caves, places often associated with the deceased ancestors. | | | In addition, two were-jaguars depicted on Altar 5 at La Venta as being carried out from a niche or cave (places often associated with the emergence of human beings) may be mythic hero twins essential to Olmec mythology (Coe 2002:75-76). |
