Just Relaxing.

The jaguar is the largest cat in the Americas and the world’s third largest cat. They need more than one habitat for their survival, are critical to many other species’ survival, and have strong cultural significance.

The jaguar is “near threatened.” Since 1900, jaguars have disappeared from over 50% of their range due to persecution by livestock ranchers, degradation of habitat, and human hunting of the jaguar’s prey. In many countries, jaguars are protected, but enforcement is difficult and jaguar skins are still sold on the black market. Jaguars live about 23 years.
