Understanding Jaguars and Their Habitat
Jaguars are native to Central and South America, inhabiting various environments from rainforests to mountain scrublands.
These solitary creatures need large territories, with females typically ranging between 10 and 37 square miles and males between 19 and 53 square miles. This expansive territory requirement makes them vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation.
Currently listed as “Near Threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), jaguars face numerous challenges, including poaching and human persecution.
Conservation efforts like those at Brevard Zoo play a crucial role in protecting these big cats and their future.
