Aurelia
There isn't a response, and for a moment she does feel silly - until the sound of a man's scream and the snarl of a jaguar sends a pulse of fear through the surrounding jungle. Birds and small mammals scatter, fleeing outward from the source of violence.
Aurelia has to watch her paws as they swarm past her in a hasty escape. Pushing past them, her body shoves forward through the undergrowth. Branches snap and leaves swish noisily in her wake as she charges, her own snarl pulling back her lips.
She emerges from the brush with her forepaws extended, launching herself upon the jaguar - vaguely noticing the prone man beneath it. For a split second, they might make some form of eye contact.
Suddenly and forcefully, her limbs are shoving the jaguar away, off of the man. She postures before him in a protective display. Nose wrinkled, she growls at the predator before swinging her paws through the air. If it wants to eat this guy, it'll be a fight.
