Not exactly. They don't have spots, but a strange type of marking called a rosette. Rosettes look like a circle split up into 3 or 4 pieces. The ones jaguars have also have a spot in the middle of the rosettes.

What group of animals does a jaguar belong to?
The black or melanistic jaguar, is a Panthera Onca. Melanism allele is a dominant gene mutation which produces the black jaguar.

If you have 2 melanistic parents, the skin will be more dense, darker than with one melanistic parent. Jaguars still have the markings which can be seen in good lighting. Spotted and black jaguars live in the same range.
