Yes. Jaguars are listed on the endangered species list. It is estimated (as of 2006), that there are only about 15,000 jaguars left in world. The jaguar is usually found in areas around Central and South America. There are a few jaguars that linger in Mexico, and some have also been seen in the United States, in the areas of Arizona and New Mexico. They prefer to live in areas where the jungle or forestation is very thick. So, as the rain forest is slowly being depleted in Central and South America, the jaguar is also disappearing.
As the forest disappears, the jaguars that are left, are forced to seek new homes and usually migrate north in search of the lust jungles and forests.
Jaguars are also the target of many hunters because their skins are sold for a lot of money to make clothes, purses and other things.
Yes, jaguars are in danger of becoming extinct because of habitat loss and people are using its fur for clothing's and etc. There are not much jaguars that are left on the planet. But they are big numbers showing that jaguars are reproducing much faster in the u.s. But the wild life services sat that they will not be able to do anything about the jaguar.
The Jaguar is endangered mostly because of habitat destruction . People who live in the Amazon use the trees for houses and other things. People still hunt them for their skins though which is also a big problem. It is a shame because they are really magnificent creatures which have been around for millions of years (I think) lol.
The majority of animals that are becoming extinct in the world (and there are a lot) is down to habitat destruction, poaching and climate change. It is thought that humans could be responsible for the next mass extinction of species on the planet and it is happening fast.
Yes, jaguars are in danger of becoming extinct. Their fur may be pretty and different but that doesn't mean that we have to kill them for it!!! And we DO NOT need to destroy the rain forests either!! Doing that, is destroying ALL homes for the animals that live there!!!! Destroying the rain forests is also hurting the planet. Trees and plants help us breathe oxygen and if we just destroyed them all, then we all would DIE! Now do you want that to happen? NO! Didn't think so!!!!! SO SAVE THE RAINFORESTS AND SAVE THE JAGUARS!!!!! SAVE ALL ANIMALS! :) :D :p PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PEOPLE! SAVE THE WORLD!!!!
I believe there are about 1000 left in the world, maybe less. And because of that, we have to stop hunting them and start helping! PLEASE SAVE THE JAGUARS!
