When was the zebra put on the endangered species list?
There are 3 species of Zebras.
- The Plains Zebra - It is not endangered
- Grevy's Zebra - It is in endangered state
- Mountain Zebra - It is in vulnerable state
These species were put in the endangered list in the past decade.
No. This is because they live in different parts of the world, so they never meet and so a jaguar cannot hunt lions. As they are both large cats, if they lived in the same part of the world they would be more likely to be rivals for some prey, rather than preying on each other.
Why would a jaguar probably not go hungry?
They wouldnt' go hungry because they have the run of the forest. They can hunt easily as long as they aren't injured or sick.
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.

No. Jaguars don't even live where hippos do, so how do you even expect a jaguar to eat one??
Lions live in prides; a pride consists of a dominant male, a number of females in his "harem", and a number of juveniles. Male juveniles are chased away from the pride when they mature.
Cheetahs also seem to live in small groups.
Apart from that, I don't believe any big cats live in groups larger than mother and immature children.
No it lives in a tree but most likely they live in the forest
Jaguars, I assume, are fast to an extent because they're well built, but are better made for trees than running, since they live in the amazon and like areas, hunting in the rainforest, mostly in trees, for monkeys, birds, etc.
Jaguars are predominantly found in Rain Forests and dense forests of North & South America. They can be found in countries like Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Dcuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Paragua, Peru, USA, Venezuela etc. It was also present in El Salvador and Uruguay but is extinct now. Jaguars are found in good numbers in areas that are abundant in water supply like rivers and lakes. They prefer river banks and other water holes which may be frequented by its preferred prey species.
How would you describe the jaguars habitat?
Jaguars are very adaptable, being found in arid climates and rainforest, as well as pampas plains.
How are leopard's spots different from a jaguar spot?
Leopard rosettes have fewer dark spots than Jaguar rosettes which have an additional dark spot in the middle.
