 The Jaguar (Panthera onca) is a near threatened and declining big cat that lives in South, Central and North America. They are America's only big cat. Males are 110-220lbs with an average of 180lbs with many getting larger, especially individuals in the Pantanal region. Females are 100-180lbs with an average of 140lbs. Jaguars are smallest in Mexico, though most are around the 140-150 area with females 120-130. Jaguars are 26-32'' tall and 4-6ft long. Jaguars are inquisitive, intelligent felines capable of problem solving the mechanics of tricky animals. They are no stranger to water either, and commonly swim and prey on caimans in the water. They generally kill by crushing the skull, and their exceptionally powerful forelimbs allows them to predate upon animals far bigger than themselves. Both male and female jaguars are powerful and calm, in sharp contrast to female leopards and cougars. They are elusive to humans and are rarely seen, they generally avoid people with few recorded attacks. Despite this, they have been extensively persecuted through history which decreased their population. Today, habitat loss and loss of major breeding grounds and water sources are lead factors in their population decreasing. They are sprinkling into the USA, jaguars like El Jefe show promising signs of a jaguar comeback in the USA. Their prey is extensive, however caiman, capybara, cattle, deer, turtle and boar are all common prey items. |

Jaguars seems to get larger the further down south they go. The smallest subspecies are in Mexico.

 And this density map shows the picture probably more accurately.  Seems eastern Peru at the foot of the Andes is where the most jaguars are to be found. |

Are jaguars unable to enter the United States from Mexico due to the same mechanisms that prevent humans from illegally crossing the border?

I have heard there is some controversy over the potential of the border wall (and the border patrol presence in general) to disrupt jaguar movement, but it seems they weren't stretching far into the US naturally anyway, at least by the time Europeans arrived.
