However, they also are known to live out on the open terrain. The fact that their natural habitat continues to be taken away by humans is a reason for this as well.

This spotted cat closely resembles the leopard, but is usually larger and sturdier. It ranges across a variety of forested and open terrains, but its preferred habitat is tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest, swamps and wooded regions. The jaguar enjoys swimming and is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush predator at the top of the food chain. As a keystone species it plays an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and regulating prey populations.The jaguar is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third-largest after the tiger and the lion.

It takes jaguars two to four years to reach full sexual maturity. Males mature slower than females, and both sexes remain with their mothers until they are 2 years old.


Upon reaching maturity, jaguars may mate at any time of year, with a preference for the months between September and January. Gestation takes 100 days to complete. Jaguars are born blind, and they take three months to be weaned. They do not begin to hunt with their mothers until they are 6 months old. Males play no role in rearing the young and are driven off from the mother's territory after mating. According to Big Cat Rescue, a wild jaguar has a life expectancy of 11 to 12 years, as compared to 20 years in captivity.

Jaguars will eat a variety of animals including birds, eggs and mammals including capybaras, peccaries, tapirs, turtles and alligators. Jaguars often bury their prey after killing it, so that they can eat it later. The jaguar is often described as nocturnal, but is more specifically crepuscular (peak activity around dawn and dusk).

The jaguar is a largely solitary, stalk-and-ambush predator and is opportunistic in prey selection. It is also an apex predator (predators that, as adults, are not normally preyed upon in the wild in significant parts of their range by creatures not of their own species) and a keystone predator, playing an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and regulating the populations of prey species.

The jaguar has developed an exceptionally powerful bite, even compared to the other big cats. This allows it to pierce the shells of armoured reptiles and to employ an unusual killing method. The jaguar bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain.

It has been reported that an individual jaguar can drag a 360 kilograms (800 pounds) bull 8 metres (25 feet) long in its jaws and crush the heaviest bones. The jaguar hunts wild animals weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds) in dense jungle and its short and sturdy physique is therefore an adaptation to its prey and environment.

Like the other big cats, the jaguar is capable of roaring and does so to warn territorial and mating competitors away.
