Climate change is pushing big cats to hunting other predators, scientists have warned, as rare footage captures a jaguar killing a smaller ocelot.
Researchers at Washington State University and the Wildlife Conservation Society captured the clash at a watering hole in Guatemala.
In a study published in the journal Biotropica, they said that while previously ocelot remains have been found in jaguar faeces, this is the first time the phenomenon has been caught on camera.

SPOKANE, Wash.– If TikTok is any indication, we’ve been bored in the house for quite some time. It turns out there is data to back that up. Researchers at Washington State University (WSU) have been studying boredom as it relates to the pandemic.
Among those studying emerging trends is associate professor Elizabeth Weybright.
“It’s a really interesting time, I think, to be studying boredom,” Weybright said.
Weybright took to Twitter last spring to track tweets that mention boredom and the pandemic.
“The big piece that came out is that people were anticipating being bored. They’re thinking, I can’t do anything. I’m going to be so bored. Or they were saying that I’m really bored,” Weybright said.
Pennycress Use for Farmers Researchers at Washington State University are taking part in a multi-institutional, nearly $13 million project on pennycress.
Karen Sanguinet with WSU’s Department of Crop and Soil Sciences says it’s a common weed that isn’t suitable for human consumption, but that doesn’t mean it’s worthless.“We’re trying to look to see if pennycress could be a suitable cover crop and winter annual in cropping systems in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been shown to be very good for soil health and disease suppression, moisture conservation and it’s very flood and freeze intolerant.”
