First of all we'd lose a beautiful creature and it wouldn't really effect humans but we'd have nothing to look at in a zoo, but still a creature deserves to live no matter what. If Jaguars went extinct, we would all be for blame really.

What happens if a jaguar becomes extinct?

That would be very bad, because it would affect the ecosystem of where the animal is found. I believe that is the rainforest. For example, even if one small animal or plant, such as an algae a different species feed on it would cause a chain reaction. In the jaguar's case, if it becomes extinct, then the other animals that it feeds on will become over populated. The overpopulated species would then over feed on the plants or other animals, causing that organism to die out. Then the overpopulated species would die off, because it would have nothing to eat. So, it would be very bad if the jaguar dies of... I hope i didn't confuse you. :) Jaguars are found actually in a variety of habitats, not just rain forests. It is also not yet an endangered species, but listed as near threatened. It would be a terrible consequence if this animal went extinct, as it is the top predator where it is found. That being said, the impact on native fauna may not be as bad as stated above, as far as prey species over populating. This is because the jaguar shares its range with the puma, another great cat that would probably fill the niche held by the jaguar.

What would happen to food chain if the African penguin became extinct?

If the African penguin were to become extinct, it would disrupt the food chain as they are both predator and prey. Their absence would affect the populations of the fish and squid they feed on, potentially leading to changes in the abundance of other species dependent on these prey items.
