What kinds of services do jaguars provide?

Jaguars are large carnivorous mammals and do not provide services in the same way that domesticated animals like dogs or horses might. Jaguars play an important role in their ecosystems as apex predators, helping regulate prey populations and maintain the balance of species. They are also keystone species, meaning their presence has a disproportionately large impact on the ecosystem compared to their abundance. However, they do not directly provide services to humans.
