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 happens to the food web if an organism becomes extinct?
If an organism becomes extinct, its predators may struggle to find alternative food sources, leading to population declines or shifts in their feeding habits. This can have cascading effects on other species within the food web, potentially disrupting the balance and stability of the ecosystem.
What happens if a species no longer reproduces?
Extinction. When a species fails to adapt, it dies out.
When plants and animals cease to exist they are said to be?
