Like all wild cats, Jaguars are pure carnivores that feed exclusively on Meat. Jaguars are Apex Predators that are on top of their food chain. They will hunt anything that it can wrestle and kill. They usually prefer deer, capybara, tapirs, peccaries, wild dogs, foxes etc. Given an opportunity they will even kill a Caiman (A Type of Alligator) or an Anaconda. Smaller species of prey like Mice, birds, sloths, monkeys, tuttles etc are caught and consumed when they are found.

Jaguars eat smaller caimans, turtles, capybaras, peccaries, and many smaller creatures. Maneating among jaguars is very rare, least among all big cat species.
