The Jaguars are the largest of South America's big cats. They once roamed from the southern tip of that continent north to the region surrounding the U.S.-Mexico border.
The jaguar is one of South and Central America's largest mammals, and the only native extant big cat (genus Panthera) in either region. They once roamed from the southern tip of Argentina all the way north to what is now the U.S.-Mexico border; today, their range is much more constricted. The jaguar is a capable and adaptable species which makes its home in a wide variety of habitats, including deciduous forests, rainforests, swamps, pampas grasslands and mountain scrub areas. Unlike many other cats, jaguars do not avoid water; in fact, not only are they adept swimmers, but their lifestyle often depends on being near water. Lakes, rivers and marshes provide the jaguar with abundant prey in the form of capybara, fish, turtles, and even such dangerous game as pythons and caimans should the opportunity present itself. Strictly and prolifically carnivorous, the jaguar can and does take a wide variety of prey; over 85 species have been reported in the diets of these big cats.
 
The jaguar makes its home in a wide-variety of habitats including deciduous forests, rainforests, swamps, pampas grasslands and mountain scrub areas.  
 
Unlike many other cats, jaguars do not avoid water; in fact, they are quite good swimmers. Rivers provide prey in the form of fish, turtles, or caimans. They sometimes climb trees to prepare an ambush, killing their prey with one powerful bite.
 
They either deliver a direct bite to the neck and then suffocate their prey, or they instantly kill them by piercing the back of the skull with their canines. Their powerful jaws and canines allow them to get through thick reptilian skin and turtle carapaces. The jaguar hunts mostly on the ground, but it sometimes climbs a tree and pounces on its prey from above. Due to the large size and dominant nature of the Jaguar, there are no other wild animals that are known to actually consider it as prey. Jaguars are strictly carnivores. They eat a wide variety of prey, over 85 species have been reported in the diet of jaguars.  


Jaguars are most active near dusk and dawn, although they may be active at any time of the day. They tend to rest mid-morning and afternoon. Jaguars lay in deep shade, under thick vegetation, in caves, or under large rocks when resting. They also rest near river banks and may be forced to rest in trees during flood seasons. Jaguars are dependent on water, especially during the dry season when they seek relief from heat.
While they sometimes dispatch prey with a direct bite to the throat, resulting in suffocation—a common tactic for members of Panthera—the jaguar is perhaps better known for employing another, more unique killing method: a powerful bite to the back of the skull, strong enough to pierce thick reptilian skin and turtle carapaces. The jaguar hunts mostly on the ground or in the water, but on occasion may pounce on its prey from the vantage of a tree; they do so relatively rarely, and this behavior should not be confused with that of the leopards of the Old World, which frequently hunt in this way. The jaguar is an apex predator, resting at the top of the food web; given their size and dominance, no other wild animals are known to consider adult jaguars as prey.


Once found throughout the South American continent, they have been hunted by Humans mainly for their fur which has led to drastic declines in Jaguar population numbers everywhere.  The jaguar is fully protected at the national level across most of its range, with hunting prohibited. With habitat fragmentation a major threat, and taxonomic research suggesting little significant differences among jaguar populations, an ambitious program has been launched to conserve a continuous north to south habitat corridor through the species range
Jaguars are typically ''crespucular'' in nature, being most active near dusk and dawn, although they may be active at any time of the day. They tend to rest mid-morning and afternoon, taking refuge in deep shade, thick vegetation, or under the cover of caves or large rocks. They may also rest near river banks, and may be forced to rest in trees during flood seasons; at these times, they are also known to drag prey up trees lest their meal be ruined by floodwaters.

Once found throughout the South American continent, the jaguar has been hunted extensively by humans in past centuries, primarily for their fur; this has led to drastic declines in jaguar population numbers across their ancestral lands. In response, the jaguar is given full protection at the national level across most of its range, with hunting being highly prohibited. Habitat fragmentation due to human expansion is also a major threat, as jaguars—like other big cats—require vast amounts of territory. Taxonomic research has suggested that the reduction in available jaguar habitat has led to reduced genetic diversity among jaguar populations, and thus several NGOs have worked with governments, local communities, and one another to drive an ambitious program seeking the conservation of a north-to-south network of jaguar habitats, from Mexico to Argentina: the Jaguar Corridor Initiative.
