More About Jaguars ...
|
"Jaguars (Panthera onca) are large cats native to South and Central America. They are closely related to the lions, tigers, and leopards of the Old World, and are the largest cat species found in the Americas".
Although jaguars look very much like leopards and are closely related to them, their ecological role and behaviour is more akin to that of the tiger.
