Superpredator
There is no treatment or special effect in the eyes of the feline, it is only the reflection of the flash.
The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a superpredator and can theoretically prey on any terrestrial or semi-aquatic vertebrate in Central and South America, with a preference for larger prey. It hunts by stalking, ambushing, and occasionally pursuing its prey. The feline moves slowly, listening and stalking its prey before attacking from above, through some blind spot of the prey, with a quick pounce and always downwind so that the prey cannot smell it. The stalking and ambushing abilities of this species are considered unparalleled by both indigenous peoples and researchers.
