What is the difference between a panther and jaguar?
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.
Where does a panther find its food?
anywhere wherever the panther is then that's where he is gonna get food if he is hungry there is no designated spot for a panther to eat.
Inbreeding. The population had dropped to only 25 animals, and the gene pool was very low. In response, the Wildlfe people released eight female Texas cougars, a very closely related subspecies, and many have given birth, so the future looks somewhat brighter for the puma in Florida.
This may not be the correct answer, but i am pretty sure that it is because they have an enlarged aortic artery coming from their heart (or something like that) allowing more oxygen to reach their muscles in a shorter time.
What hunts and eats a leopard?
lions and hyenas don't exaclty eat aleopard but they do eat the leopards cubs so the leopard finds them as threats to them and their cubs and offten a leopard will leave the prey they cought to avoid any farther mishaps with the lion and/or the hyena so other than them the leopard really has no pretators for it except for humans too because they do fur trade and in order to do that you have to kill the leopard or leopards.

How long can cheetahs maintain speed?
The cheetah is the fastest land mammal in the world. The cheetah, can reach speeds of between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m. It has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h in three seconds.
In terms of miles per hour, they can reach around 70 to 75 mph.
However, they can sustain the speed for only short durations, typically around a minute. If they continue to run at top speed for over that time, they will die of exhaustion.
How do you stop black leopards being endangered?
First, let's look at the question. The black leopard is a color phase of the leopard, not a separate species. They are more common in Asia than Africa. Both black and normal colored cubs can, and usually do, occur in the same litter. In Africa, less than five per cent of leopards are black, but in Asia, nearly twelve per cent are.As a species, leopards are not endangered.But some races are in trouble.
STOP KILLING THEM!!!!!!!!!
I would say that the leopards enemies are the lion and the elephant and wildebeest because lions are definitely stronger than leopards Even an elephant and a herd of wildebeest can kill one leopard Definitely a bull elephant can easily do that Even the largest wildebeest can do that
What region do black panthers live in?
Black panthers are either melanistic (black) jaguars from Central and South America or melanistic leopards from Africa or Asia.
What genre is the book the last leopard?
it is fiction, because of corse there is no Giant Leopard in Zimbabwe or a White Giraffe in South Africa, and Martine and Ben and Gwyn Thomas aren't real either
Why are humans enemies to panthers?
Humans do not have to be enemies of panthers; panthers live in the wild and humans live in cities and other areas that have been adapted to our purposes. It is also true that the big cats, such as panthers, can and do eat primates such as human beings, given the opportunity to do so. They are predators and we can fill the role of prey. So there is a certain biological basis to consider them enemies. But as long as we are safely separated from panthers, they are not our enemies.
Panther is a generic term and does not apply to a single species. It may
refer to
a lion - panthera leo
a tiger - panthera tigris
a leopard - panthera pardus
a jaguar - panthera onca
a snow leopard - panthera uncia
None of the above live in caves and most live in open grasslands or forests.
No, they are not located in the same environment. Both are apex predators in their food chains.
Big cats do have a fair range of intelligence, but not as smart as canids (dogs, wolves, foxes, etc.) Nature always sacrifices one thing for another, and big cats have such overwhelming strength, power, and speed, they have just enough intelligence to ensure survival of the species.
