JAGUARS

Jaguars are a species of feline that are at a high risk for extinction for several reasons. They need a large area of land to hunt on, which can be a problem with an increasing amount of land being used for tourism and agriculture. Another reason is that they have to have a large gene pool for mating, which can be an issue as the species grows smaller and smaller in the wild. Their decreasing habitat and population means that their species may be completely eliminated from the wild and continue to survive only in protected, supervised areas.
