The Endangered Jaguars and The Arizona Agave Jaguars are one of many endangered species. They are strong swimmers and climbers.
They are the biggest cats in the Americas and can be found in North, Central, and South America.
They require large areas of tropical rain forest and stretches of riverbank to survive. There are only about 8,000 to 16,000 wild jaguars left in the world, from southern Arizona and New Mexico to Northern Argentina. Less than
500 are held by zoos and very few are kept as pets or circus performers. The numbers of jaguars are steadily declining. The main causes of this is habitat destruction, deforestation, prey loss, and human hunting. Jaguar are hunted for their fur to be used for fancy rugs and women luxury clothing. Jaguars are known for preying on cattle and horses. Farmers kill the jaguar because it kills their cattle, which don’t let them get as much product as they would like to. Mexican ranches retain a person to kill or drive the jaguars away from their horses. Humans have burned the homelands of the jaguars in
Central and South America, so cities can be built. They clear down the forests and grasslands, which is bad because they are ruining the habitat of the jaguars. Also, The jaguars need to be in a tropical forest and need grasslands near rivers and lakes to live.To protect these beautiful animals many organizations have been formed. The
WWF has worked with the government of Brazil to successfully protect large blocks of
The Amazon Forest for the jaguars. In Peru, WWF continues to track jaguars to learn more about their habitat requirements. The Northern Jaguar Reserve protects key habitats for northern jaguars. Also, The Federal Endangerment
