Description

ENDANGERED SPECIES
Length: 48-60 inches
Weight: 170-225 lbs
Jaguar is much larger and stockier than other spotted cats. It has a bulky head and shorter legs and tail than the other large cats. Its fur is a sandy yellow back layer with black rosettes all across its body. These rosettes differ from the leopard's because in the middle of the Jaguar's rosettes there almost always is one or more black dots/spots.
