About
The jaguar is the largest wild cat in the Americas, built with a stocky, muscular frame.
It is the third-largest cat species on Earth, ranking behind only the tiger and the lion. Males are generally 10 to 20 percent larger than females, and jaguars living in open floodplains tend to be larger than those in dense rainforests. Although they are often confused with leopards, jaguars are significantly heavier and have a much stockier, more muscular build.
From Wikipedia
The jaguar is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera that is native to the Americas. Its coat features pale yellow to tan colored fur covered with spots that transition to rosettes on the sides; some individuals have a melanistic spotted coat.
