Yes. Lions are pack hunters and are less deadly on their own. A male Lion can have 50-100% more body mass than a Jaguar. According to many sources the Jaguar is the 2nd strongest big cat and has the strongest bite. The Jaguar is also not as aggressive as the Lion.

No. The above answer is absolute nonsense. Lions weigh 250+ lbs whilst a Jaguars range 100 - 150 lbs (roughly). The idea that this species is the world's second 'strongest' cat it lunacy; how do you measure 'strength'? Tigers are also substantially bigger heavier and stronger than both Lions and Jaguars.

The other crucial factor is that Lions and Jaguars have entirely separated world distributions Jaguars being limited to South and Central America and Lions in Africa and a single relict population in India's Gir Forest. Jaguars can't attack Lions because they never come into contact with them.

Yes, depending on the circumstances. For example, if the jaguar were a baby then of course! But, if it were a full grown male leader of the pack, it might be more difficult; but in the sense that the lion could digest the meat of a jaguar, then yes.

No, lions live in Africa and Asia while jaguars are found in the Americas. They never meet.

Who would win in a fight lion or a jaguar?

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
