Jaguars are Apex Predators and have no natural enemies. An adolescent Jaguar may be killed by an Anaconda or a large Caiman.
Jaguars were found in hundreds of thousands in both North and South America just a few decades ago. Due to extensive hunting their numbers have fallen significantly. An average of around 15000 animals every year just in the Brazilian Rainforests up until a few years ago, when governments world wide banned the sale of Jaguar Skin. If we consider other habitats the number killed would be even more. They were hunted to extinction in countries like El Salvador and Uruguay.
Another threat faced by the Jaguar is loss of its habitat. Population Explosion means people encroach on forests and jungles. Felling of Trees, diverting of rivers etc also dont help these magnificent animals much. If humans don't stop killing the Jaguar or destroying its habitat, this animal may go extinct
