The Peruvian jaguar was proposed as a subspecies of jaguar, with the taxonomic name Panthera onca peruviana (de Blainville, 1843), before Reginald Innes Pocock (1939) accepted that it could be grouped with Panthera onca onca,[1][2] before later research failed to find evidence for different subspecies for the jaguar.[3] It is found in the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, and Manú National Park, Peru.[2][4][5][6]
