About Jaguar

The jaguar is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera that is native to the Americas. Its distinctively marked coat features pale yellow to tan colored fur covered by spots that transition to rosettes on the sides, although a melanistic black coat appears in some individuals. With a body length of up to 1.85 m and a weight of up to 158 kg (348 lb), it is the biggest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world. The jaguar's powerful bite allows it to pierce the carapaces of turtles and tortoises, and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of mammalian prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain.

No, she was, by a weird coincidence, she was Bosie's aunt. Do you guys know Bosie, like Oscar Wilde's aunt?

  2. This is a bit confusing, but they had the same plates as another car that was on there, which apparently is illegal. So they got disqualified from the race. They thought, well, we're on holiday, let's just go to the bar, got absolutely tanked. Then the guy who was the manager of the Jaguar team, who they raced for, called Lofty England. Wow. He should be the head of the Brexit party.
