PAMPA

"The Pampas are fertile South American low grasslands that cover more than 1,200,000 square kilometres and include the Argentine provinces of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Santa Fé, Entre Ríos, and Córdoba; all of Uruguay; and Brazil's southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul".

1952, Possibly The Last Jaguar found in Pampa: 

Male jaguar skin and skull in São Lourenço (Southern Brazil)
Said to be a "young" male, the jaguar killed some "pigs" of a property and because of that he was shot. Even after being shot he was still able to walk for around 1 kilometer and died with a dog on its mouth. According to the hunters, it was an male weighing impressive: 86 kg
After this slaughter, the presence of jaguars was never reported in the Pampa gaúcho.
