| The Jaguar
is often confused with the |
|
 |
| Leopard
because both have spots in |
|
|
| rosettes,
butthose of the Jaguar have a |
|
|
| black spot
in the centre. |
|
|
| The
yellowish ground colour is similar |
|
|
| in both but
in the Jaguar the rosettes tend |
|
|
| to be more
concentrated along the back. |
|
|
| Jaguars are
5½ - 9ft (1.7 - 2.7m) in height |
|
|
| with one
third being the tail. |
|
|
| At the
length shoulder they stand around |
|
|
| 2½ ft and
can weigh between 125 & 250lb |
|
|
| which makes
them heavier than the |
|
|
| Leopard or
Puma. |
|
|
|
|
| Jaguars are
good tree climbers and usually |
|
|
| have their
own territory of 2 - 5 square |
|
|
| miles. |
