Jaguars are not native to Africa; they are primarily found in the Americas, particularly in rainforests, swamps, and grasslands from the southwestern United States to Argentina. If a jaguar is found in Africa, it is likely due to captivity in a zoo or wildlife sanctuary, or as an escapee from a private collection. Their habitat and ecological role are tied to the ecosystems of the Americas, making their presence in Africa unusual and not part of their natural distribution.
