Though very powerful, she’s not a sprinter and she needs to get close to her prey before she strikes.
盡管十分強大，但是它卻不擅長短跑，因此，它需要靠近獵物以發動致命一擊。
This time she’s run too soon and it’s a fruitless chase.
這次它的動作太明顯，即使追擊也是白費力氣。
Then her attention is diverted to a slower-moving target, slow but not defenseless. She backs off and tries a different approach.
它的注意力轉向了一個行動緩慢的目標，雖然速度緩慢，但卻并不是毫無防備。它向后退去，并想嘗試不同的一餐。
There’s obviously a meal in there, but how to get to it?
大餐很明顯就近在眼前，但是怎樣下手呢？
She homes in on the head and bites straight through the skull. The glyptodont is dead, but the jaguar still goes hungry. Unable to crack her victim’s tough armor, all she manages to walk away with is a bony scute. The jaguar will vanish in North America. And glyptodonts, like many Ice Age beasts, become extinct. But at the bottom of the spring, one tiny fragment of an Ice Age giant will remain undisturbed for 13,000 years, while above it, the landscape of Florida will change forever.
它撲向雕齒獸的頭部，并直接對雕齒獸的外殼發動了攻擊。雕齒獸死了，但是美洲虎仍然饑餓難耐。它不能夠打開雕齒獸的盔甲，它試圖帶著這個盔甲離開。美洲虎將會從北美消失。而雕齒獸，和其他冰河時代動物一樣，也消失匿跡。但是在這個池塘底部，一個冰河時代的大型動物的化石碎片在安靜地躺在那里13000年，而在水上，佛羅里達的面貌也永遠地改變了。
