In their natural habitat, adult jaguars do not have many natural enemies or predators. They are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of their food chain. However, younger jaguars (cubs and subadults) may face threats from larger predators, such as other jaguars, pumas, and large reptiles like anacondas or large caimans. Additionally, humans pose a significant threat to jaguars due to habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts with livestock.
