The jaguar is found in the Americas and the leopard is found in Asia and Africa. The jaguar is slightly larger than the leopard and has larger spots. jaguars are also stronger than leopards.
A jaguar has a dot in the center of each spot and a leopard does not

The leopard and the jaguar are both members of the genus Panthera. The other living members of this genus are the lion, tiger and snow leopard. The leopard may be the most closely related to the jaguar of the five species, but that is still a matter of dispute.


Leopards are smaller and more lightly built than jaguars. The leopard's spots are smaller and more densely packed than are those of a jaguar.


Although both are descended from Old World cats, the modern jaguar lives only in America and the modern leopard lives only in the Old World (Eurasia and Africa).


Jaguar vs. Leopard

The leopard is found across Africa, Asia, and the Amur region of Russia. Jaguars are found in all of south and Central America, and in recent years, north to the U. S. border with Mexico in Texas, as well. The jaguar has a shorter, more stocky build than the leopard. Also, the jaguar tends to have larger rosettes with spots in the middle; the leopard has plain rosettes with no central spot in the middle. In addition, jaguars have a much broader forehead and wider jaw because they kill their prey differently than leopards. Unlike other big cats, jaguars kill prey by crushing the spinal column and must have a much stronger bite in order to do so. This means that the shape of their skull is unique among the cat species. As a result, they have the strongest bite-force of any member of the cat family--even stronger than lions and tigers.

The jaguar weighs twice as much on average than a leopard.
Leopard is African and an animal of scrub and open grassland dotted with trees. Jaguar is American, an animal of dense scrub and forest and is larger and more massively built than a leopard.

genes The Jaguar (Panthera Onca in Latin) is a geographically constrained sub-species of the Leopard (Panthera pardus adersi), as is the Melanistic (Black) Panther. They are all, in fact, very closely related. The Jaguar is generally slightly smaller and more agile than the Leopard, whereas the Black Panther can grow to much greater sizes and is usually slower but stronger. Colouration and markings vary from animal to animal but Leopards tend to be of a more uniform appearance than Jaguars. Black Panthers have similar markings but they are harder to observe.

The first thing is the spots. Jaguar spots are like black rings with spots inside of them. Leopard spots are just rings with no spots. Jaguar's are bigger than leopards, and sometimes they can turn into darker brown or black cats with dark black ringed spots, even though the spots are hard to see.

I hope I answered your question!
The leopard and the jaguar: although these two cats look quite alike, there are differences namely: 1. The jaguar is a bit shorter in height but it's stockier and more muscular than the leopard. It has a broader and robust head than the leopard's. The jaguar's tail is shorter than a leopard's. In essence it looks much more heavily built than the leopard. 2. The jaguar has spots inside its rosettes but the leopard doesn't 3. Another difference lies in the behaviour: although both cats can swim very well, jaguars love to spend time in water while leopards will avoid it. 4. Jaguars are braver than leopards when it comes to facing off with another species of animal that's bigger that it. Most leopards shy away timidly at the sight of a larger animal (eg. Lion or hyena), jaguars boldly stand their ground or even known to attack the larger animal (eg. anaconda, large caimans).

A leopard is in fact never considered better than a jaguar by any informed professionals on the subject. This is a rumour that has been circulating for years, but we aim tonight to quash these rumours once and for all. Tonight, we re-write history as we proclaim the granduer of the epic beast that is known as the jaguar.

The infamous Hogwarts jaguar remains a constant reminder of the superiority of this particular breed over leopards, a living legend whose stature has eternally risen above that of the bloody, bawdy, insolent, treacherous, villainous leopard.

PS You can never have enough bran. Remember that dear readers.

Their spots are different and differently build and they dont live in the same area and jaguars are more prone to swimming than leopards, and leopards cary their prey up a tree so that scavengers couldn't steal it but a jaguar eats it on the ground because their stronger than a leopard so they can easily fight of a scavenger and the most interesting things about leopards can hunt by jumping of a tree branch on top of the prey. Jaguars relay more on strength than tragedy, but they are still from the same family though.

The jaguar is shorter, but stockier in build. The leopard's spots are smaller on the flanks, and the rosettes do not have tiny spots inside them as jaguar's do. The jaguar has a larger, more powerfully built skull.
