In the wild - no. Jaguars live in South America and tigers in Asia. Different continents, far, far from each other.
In an artificial setting like a zoo, I don't know. Even a big jaguar is a lot smaller than a small tiger.
They might either not accept each other, or they might simply be too far apart on the evolutionary tree for there to be any cubs.

∙ 14y agono because only animals of the same species can breed and have offspring that can produce offspring. Just because animals are in the same family doesn't maen they are the same species. So therfore they cant interbreed

∙ 11y agoThey both have 38 chromosomes and are large cats from the same continent that look similar in structure (yes there are Jaguars in the southern United States), and seeing as Asian tigers and African lions can breed and they both look very phenotypically different and have vastly different habitats and habits, so MAYBE. The only way to know for sure is to try, but it would be very un-likely to happen naturally as their territories do not usually overlap, and if they did cross the cubs would likely be sterile. Females may have a chance of being fertile but more than likely not males due to Haldane's Rule.

∙ 7y agoAs the animals are from different genera, it probably would not be successful. Mating of a cougar with a leopard was somewhat successful but the young were deformed and few lived beyond infancy.

Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThey are from the same genus so it is quite possible they could breed. However, the leopard is an animal from Africa and Asia and the jaguar is from the Americas so they never meet in nature.

Jaguar vs cougar who would win?
Jaguar vs cougar. The jaguar is 8.5 feet long and weighs 210 - 320 pounds at average. The cougar is 7 - 7.5 feet long and weighs 150 - 200 pounds at average. A jaguar is bigger, stockier, and more muscled. The bite is almost as strong as a lions or tigers bite, and the teeth are huge. The jaguar and cougar may fight a bit, but the jaguar, if pinned, will bite the cougar in the chest and then finish the cougar off by biting the head. Jaguars are more powerful. But cougars are far more aggresive than jaguars and may bite the jaguar on the neck if pinned before the jaguar can bite back, but the jaguar would win if showing aggresion first. Jaguars are heavier than pumas, but not longer. Male jaguars weigh 150-210 pounds on average, although a few may reach 300 pounds. Puma males average 125-160 pounds, but may reach 200.
