Deforestation is a major threat to the jaguar across its range. Habitat loss was most rapid in drier regions such as the Argentine pampas, the arid grasslands of Mexico and the southwestern United States. [2] In 2002, it was estimated that the range of the jaguar had declined to about 46% of its range in the early 20th century. [54]
[3] [4] In 2021, a partial mandible was referred to P. onca augusta from Chapala, Mexico, extending the range south to southwestern Mexico. [7] A possible specimen of P. onca augusta is also known from Georgia, and mitogenomic analysis suggests that the specimen certainly belongs to P. onca , though its subspecific assignment remains unresolved.

A similar trend of gigantism is observed in the North American subspecies Panthera onca augusta, which was around 15-20% larger than modern jaguars at around 190 kilograms (420 lb). [12] P. onca mesembrina shared the robust, stocky build of P. onca onca but to an even greater degree. [9]
