lion
Counting the tail, the Mountain lion would be longer, but the Jaguar IS heavier. I would NOT want to get between them.
The jaguar can have a chance to kill a lion with a bite on the body. In a fair fight the lion would probably come out the winner more often than not.
While the jaguar is a faster and more agil and athletic cat the jaguar well have no chance going one on one with a male lion but that does not mean that the jaguar can't outsmart the lion if a jaguar was hunting with another of his own kind which is very unlikely the jaguar can actually ambush the lion and do a sneak attack on the lion if the jaguar gets his jaw on the lions skull it can actually kill the lion but this two powerfull cats live so far from eachother so is very unlikely for this duel to happen but if the jaguar outsmarts the lion the jaguar will win the BATTLE
a jaguar
A jaguar is smaller and stronger but the lion is faster bigger taller and is more skilled at fighting so the lion has an advantage over the jaguar and besides they brawl when they are tennagers and there the most skilled at fighting.
Both the tiger and the jaguar are fond of cooling off in water.
I believe that the lion is faster than the jaguar.

A jaguar would probably win since lions are pack hunters, and are not as deadly on their own. According to many sources, the jaguar is the second strongest big cat and has the strongest bite. However, a jaguar is nowhere near as aggressive, so it would be a pretty fair match. However, the male lion would win because of its mane to protect its neck, but a jaguar would win against a lioness.
Yes, the jaguar is in the same genus as the lion, tiger, leopard and snow leopard.
