The jaguar is a compact and well-muscled predator. Significant variations in size: weights are normally in the range of 124-211 lbs (56-96 kilos). Large males have been noted at 350 lb (159 kilos). Smaller specimens have low weights of 80 lbs (36 kilos). Females are typically 20 percent smaller than the males. The length of the cats vary from 5-6 ft, and its tail may add 30 inches. They stands on all four paws at about 27-30 inches tall to the shoulders. Family: Felidae Genus: Panthera
Panthers while similar, are between 100 - 250 lbs full grown and reach sizes of 7 to 8 feet in length. Family: Felidae Genus: Felis concolor. The term "panther", is a generic term used to describe several large cats. The leopard, cougar, and jaguar are all called panthers by some. There is no species called panther in itself.
There isn't much difference, apart from the appearance.
The panther is just a jaguar the if fully black, but if you look closely, you can actually still see the little black rosettes that a jaguar has.
