The jaguar is a large cat found in South and Central America that can weigh up to 350 pounds. It lives in forests, wetlands, grasslands, and near water. Jaguars are carnivores that eat almost any prey, including armadillos and crocodiles. Females give birth in summer and cubs weigh 1.5-2 pounds at birth. Jaguars are endangered due to hunting for their fur and loss of habitat.
