Jaguar

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large felid and is the only living memeber of the genus, Panthera, native to the Americas. Its distinctively marked coat features pale yellow or tan fur covered by spots. It is the third largest felid, behind the lion and the tiger. It is a solitary, apex predator and a keystone species. It is threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and habitat fragmentation.
