Surrounded by Jaguars, with nothing but light cover, what would you do? Should you just submit yourself to certain death? That's not going to happen. Most of us would fight. Try to take at least one more breath. So what could you do? Run? That's probably not a great idea either, jaguars are fast, humans are not as fast. It would probably also end with a less than pleasant mauling. Do you howl? Hope that a god exists and a savior will show up in their shining armor, and if you're really fortunate, they have a rifle. Do we fight back? If you're in the woods alone, I would hope you brought some sort of survival equipment. Maybe a knife, a lighter, some rope, a flair. Assuming we aren't as prepared as we should be could you defeat a Jaguar with no weapon other than a hunting knife? If a man can kill a bear with nothing but a hunting knife (Link) why could you not kill a Jaguar? He probably could. Though he's surrounded, and fending off one only delays the problem. It doesn't solve it. Do we follow the advice we've always been given about bears? Get big, and back away slowly; hope that you can intimidate the Jaguar and have it back away. Have it look for another meal. I have no idea what we could do in the face of a jaguar attack. Thankfully I don't see it happening to me. At least not in the near future. I hope.
Aside: Could you kill a bear with a hunting knife? if not what's the biggest (predatory) animal you could fend off? A raccoon? A badger? A Lynx? regardless i'm impressed.
Aside for the aside: Human vs. Bear hot dog eating contest "the bear doesn't know it's a competition"

Very small, feeling like a rook,
Admiring the peace of stars, on this cold winter night,
Lying in the meadow, with nothing but tranquility,
It would be cold, if I weren't thinking of you tonight.
The waves crashing one the rocks;
Chaos down below,
Nothing disturbs my tranquility,
Not even the sight of the year's first snow.
Some call it crazy,
Lying in a field. With nothing.
but thoughts,
and peace, thinking of the last time we spoke.
It was too long ago, and now you are gone
Your smile never to be seen,
Enthusiasm to be forgotten,
Unless I live with a peace of you, and you eyes that were green
Seeing you again is something I desire,
For now you are dead,
Our brotherhood set on fire,
I'll live my life for you. Make it a place you should have lived to see.
Peace,
Love,
Friendship,
Gone with our
Fraternity
