This is amazing. The strength and beauty of that cat are beyond words. I always, always, always feel bad for the prey, no matter what it is - but it's the way of the world, and I want jaguars to survive. Read the article - local wildlife officials know this male cat (hence the nickname Mick Jaguar), and yes his eye has been injured in the past (from territory fights, in all likelihood). Does not seem to slow him down one bit in his pursuit of food. A freaking caiman, people.
