How do jaguars reproduce?

Answer 1

They do it the same way people do.

Male and female jaguars mate (have sexual intercourse); the female becomes pregnant, and about 3 months later she gives birth to a litter, usually two cubs but as many as four. Male jaguars are kept away from the cubs.

Gestation period is between 93 to 105 days. Upto 4 cubs may be born in a single litter, but the more common number is Two. Females help raise the young until they can fend for themselves. Cubs are born blind and can see only after two weeks. They remain in a den for around 6 months and then accompany their mom on hunts.

Jaguar Females reach sexual maturity at around 2 years of age and Males after they are 3 years or more. They mate year round and esp. when prey is plentiful.

Males locate receptive females using scent markings. After Mating, males go away leaving the female to do all the parenting.

Jaguars reproduce by having jaguar cubs, which eventually grow up into adult jaguars, who can have their own cubs to keep the species going.
