    Large felids are species that play important ecological niches, being responsible for controlling many wild species. Therefore, in this research two jaguars (Puma concolor), jaguar I and jaguar II, fixed in formaldehyde from the collection of the Unifeob Animal Anatomy laboratory. For macroscopic analysis, these animals were weighed and their body lengths measured, to later dissect, expose and count the number of lumbar, sacral and coccygeal vertebrae. Then, the vertebrae were measured for a comparative analysis between them “in situ” and through radiographic projections, in order to define the termination of the spinal cord and measure the length of the conus medullaris, locating a safe point for the practice of the epidural anesthetic technique. and spinal. Therefore, the results found were that both had 7 lumbar vertebrae, 3 sacral vertebrae, but the coccygeal vertebrae had a variation of 21 in jaguar I and 23 in jaguar II. Exposing a spinal cord that ended in ounce I in the lumbar vertebra (L6) and in ounce II in sacral 1 (S1). Consequently, it can be concluded that the safest intervertebral space for these procedures is the sacrococcygeal space, after all, in this location the spinal cord is no longer present in pumas. Therefore, this project, considering the importance of these animals, aims to study the lumbar, sacral and beginning of the coccygeal vertebrae, spinal cord and conus medullaris, in order to improve the epidural and subdural anesthetic technique in the area of large felids, contributing to their greater use in everyday life and assisting in future literary projects.
