Read about it
Jaguars are the largest cats in the Americas, with a broad head and one of the strongest bites of any big cat. Each jaguar lives alone in its own patch of forest and wetland. Some are born so dark that they look all black, but their spots still show in the sunlight. Jaguars are near threatened because their forests are being cleared and cut into pieces, so people protect wild areas and plant green paths that join them together.
