ENB150 interesting animal

The most interesting animal that I like is the jaguar. The jaguar is the third largest feline behind the tiger and lion. This big cat lives in the southern United States, Mexico, most of Central America, and South America. Most jaguars are found in forested and open areas. Like tigers, the Jaguars are known to swim in rivers. They stalk for their prey and are at the top of the food chain. They are an important part of the ecosystem as well. The jaguar has become a near threatened species because of destruction of their habitat by humans.
