Pantanal jaguar The Pantanal jaguar was proposed as the largest subspecies of jaguar, with the taxonomic name "Panthera onca palustris" , native to the Pantanal of South America, besides Argentina, before later research failed to find evidence for different subspecies of jaguar. Besides Brazil, the Pantanal forms part of Bolivia and Paraguay, the namesake countries of "Panthera onca boliviensis" and "Panthera onca paraguensis".
