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.
The main difference between a black jaguar and a spotted jaguar is their coat coloration. Black jaguars have a gene mutation that causes their fur to be black, while spotted jaguars have the classic rosette patterns on their coat. Otherwise, both types of jaguars are the same species with similar behaviors and adaptations.
There are lots of animals that have spotted fur. A few examples are cheetahs, leopards, and jaguars.
The black or melanistic jaguar, is a Panthera Onca. Melanism allele is a dominant gene mutation which produces the black jaguar. This means that black jaguars may produce either black or spotted cubs, but a pair of spotted jaguars can only produce spotted cubs. 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.
Tigers are much larger, and are striped, while jaguars are spotted. Tigers are Asian animals, jaguars are from the Americas.
Jaguars have been spotted in the mountains of extreme southeastern Arizona.
Yes, jaguars have been occasionally spotted in Arizona, particularly in the southern part of the state near the border with Mexico. However, they are extremely rare in the region due to habitat loss and hunting.

They were both hunted for their beautiful spotted coats, however, neither cat is an endangered species.
jaguars have spots but some have wierd circles on them
Jaguars stay away from people and live in secluded areas of the rain forest. Their spotted coat helps them to hide.
Actually, jaguars and leopards are not 'spotted'. They are called 'rosettes', and the jaguar has a dot in the middle of its rosette, but a leopard does not. and a black panther, when seen in the sunlight, has rosettes too!! Did you know there is no such thing as black in nature? Only very very very very deep brown.
NO! They don't have black skin. Their skin is spotted.
