The Paraguayan jaguar was proposed as a subspecies of jaguar, with the taxonomic name Panthera onca paraguensis (Hollister, 1914), native to Paraguay in the Gran Chaco or the Pantanal regions.[2][3] Eventually, research failed to find evidence that the jaguar was divided into different subspecies.[4]
