Jaguar
Jaguar (Panthera onca), also called el tigre or tigre Americano, largest New World member of the cat
family (Felidae), once found from the U.S.-Mexican border southward to
Patagonia, Argentina. Its preferred habitats are usually swamps and
wooded regions, but jaguars also live in scrublands and deserts. The
jaguar is virtually extinct in the northern part of its original range
and survives in reduced numbers only in remote areas of Central and
South America; the largest known population exists in the Amazon
rainforest.
