Not generally as food prey. Humans often kill jaguars that they encounter, or those that enter inhabited areas in search of food (livestock and poultry).
Jaguars are known to occasionally attack humans, usually when they feel threatened or cornered. Such attacks are rare, as jaguars typically avoid contact with humans. However, it is important to exercise caution and respect when in jaguar territory.
Humans are not natural prey of jaguars so normally, no a jaguar would not hunt people. There have been documented cases though of old or injured/sick jaguars (as well as other big cats and large predators) hunting people because, comparatively speaking, we are extremely easy prey.
Jaguars are carnivores and primarily hunt large prey such as deer, capybaras, and peccaries. They are ambush predators that rely on stealth and strength to catch their prey. Jaguars have a powerful bite and usually go for a bite to the skull or neck to quickly incapacitate their prey.
To catch their prey.
Jaguars are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain in their ecosystems. However, they may still face threats from other large predators such as anacondas, caimans, and other jaguars. Human activities, including hunting and habitat destruction, are the biggest threats to jaguars.
Jaguars are at the top of their food chain, there are no animals that prey on them.

No they are predators
Yes, with loss of habitat and loss of prey items, attacks by jaguars on humans are becoming more common.
Yes, they are close to cheetahs making them fast to hunt on prey and eat meat. They are not deadly to humans though.

pumas and jaguars
To catch their prey.
yes, they do
Jaguars do not prey on jaguars. They will leave each other alone. American crocodiles do not prey on jaguars. But large male black caimans are known to kill and eat jaguars in water. Green anacondas are known to prey on jaguars, but it would have to be a large female green anaconda in water.
