The word "Jaguar" means "he who kills with one leap". This animal (Pantera Onca) is South America's most emblematic big cat, and it's the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion. The jaguar's present range extends from Southwestern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. The jaguar is a threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America. Although reduced, its range remains large. Given its historical distribution, the jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including those of the Maya, Aztec and Guaraní.
