The modern jaguar, Panthera onca, is a skilled hunter that lives in the Amazon rainforest and uses areas where it can blend in with its surroundings to hunt both during the day and at night. But in the future, the climate is probably going to be warm and the Amazon rainforest will have lost a lot of its canopies, making it hot during the day and encouraging a lot of animals to hunt at night. Therefore, these jaguars will gradually adapt to a nocturnal lifestyle in order to survive in this environment. The jaguar of the future will have a longer, slimmer body to help with silent running, larger eyes to improve night vision, and a dark coat to blend in with the dark surroundings and hunt efficiently. It will also be able to avoid the Amazon rainforest's heat and human interference.
