yanumaka kapala

Etymology
jaguar + having spots

Noun

 * 1) One or more spotted jaguars

Usage notes

 * Black or melanistic forms of the jaguar also are relatively common, and often called 'black panthers' in the Americas. Genetic studies, however, indicate that both spotted and black jaguars are members of the same species, Panthera onca. The Wauja language, however, distinguishes between jaguars (yanumaka) that are:
 * spotted (yanumaka kapala)
 * black or melanistic (yanumaka yelaki)

Related terms

 * (jaguar, jaguars)
 * (one or more black jaguars)
