They eat practically any large animal, including deer, caimans (crocodilians), tapirs, and peccaries. They will settle for smaller prey, such as monkeys, sloths, and birds, and even fish, frogs, armadillos, mice and pacas.

They will also eat cattle, horses, and dogs, which brings them into conflict with humans.
Jaguars are apex predators and are the top predators of the Pantanal. Only the Black Caiman ties in with the Jaguar. Jaguars eat a whole variety of prey, but their main prey are Tapirs, Capybaras, deer and Peccaries, in which they kill with a skull bite. Other prey includes livestock, armadillos, monkeys, sloths and coatimundis. Occasionally, Jaguars prey on Giant Otters, fish and poultry. Jaguars are known reptile killers as well though and are known to kill anacondas, spectacled caimans and they might even be the only predator of the adult black caiman. Jaguars almost never kill humans though.
