Dear Friends,

I thought I would take a quick look and see what the ancient Maya portrayed.
More than 90% of all the jaguars on the vases are of the spotted variety.
However, on K533 one of the dancers is wearing a black jaguar skin. On a few
others such as 1490, 3231, and 6608 there seem to be either black jaguars or
impersonators. On 1546 there seems to a portrait of the animal I believe we
would call a cougar. (Nice tawny skin to put hand prints on)
