The Black Jaguar is a minor character that appears in Rio 2. He is a melanistic jaguar.

Biography

He first appears when Claira was singing "Memory" in front of Rafael, Nico, Pedro and Carla until the black jaguar shows up and eats her. Undaunted, Claira keeps singing from inside the jaguar. In the teaser trailer, Nico positively compliments the performance remarking "Now that's a duet!", whereas Pedro in the final film says "This ain't an all-you-can-eat competition." The jaguar is seen again in the final battle, fighting against one of the loggers during the deforestation, where he spits Claira out, and when the loggers are defeated, the jaguar is seen celebrating among the other rainforest animals.
