There, that should dispel any confusion. As you can read, LSU1NSEC was actually saying the ALLIGATOR ate the JAGUAR. If you actually watched the video, this is clearly not the case.

> this does not mean ate. It means that mammals are greater than the reptile in this case.
Dude probably took it how it is taught when you were young. > symbolizes a mouth that eats the larger "value", but in actually in simply means greater than.
Those ppl from A&M

Oh I was simply trying to interpret LSU1NSEC's intent. I cannot speak to whether he believes all Jaguars are mammals or all mammals are Jaguars - I don't think science really has all the answers there. To speak to his broader point, I think it's laughable to suggest a reptile could even eat a mamal in the first place - there's a reason one is warm-blooded and the other cold!

Philosophers have argued since the dawn of time over the nature of the jaguar-mammal relationship. I strongly doubt we'll solve that paradox in a messageboard on the internet.

However I will agree with you that

Despite all of his "math" proofs suggesting otherwise, it's simply impossible. I probably can't explain this as well as it deserves to be explained so I'll just link this educational video.

Yeah most academically accepted research starts with Heineken commercials, deal with it

Jaguars are mammals. And mammals>reptiles.

The jaguar, a compact and well-muscled animal, is the largest cat in the New World and the largest carnivorous mammal in Central and South America.

A hungry alligator will eat just about anything. Take one look at one, and it’s obvious what they are: a killing machine. These ferocious predators, with their armored bodies and menacing jaws, are living fossils from a distant past. Scientists say alligators are a prehistoric species, almost 150 million years old, who even managed to avoid extinction 65 million years ago when dinosaurs died off.

That’s why this footage, captured in Brazil’s Pantanal wetlands, is about as insane as it gets.

Ehh, a decently strong/agile human, who knows what he's doing, could wrestle down and subdue an alligator/caiman that size pretty easily. They would never be able to do the same to a jaguar. It's hardly that "insane" of a video.
