The jaguar is found in the Americas and the leopard is found in Asia and Africa. The jaguar is slightly larger than the leopard and has larger spots. jaguars are also stronger than leopards.
A jaguar has a dot in the center of each spot and a leopard does not
The leopard and the jaguar are both members of the genus Panthera. The other living members of this genus are the lion, tiger and snow leopard. The leopard may be the most closely related to the jaguar of the five species, but that is still a matter of dispute.
Leopards are smaller and more lightly built than jaguars. The leopard's spots are smaller and more densely packed than are those of a jaguar.
Although both are descended from Old World cats, the modern jaguar lives only in America and the modern leopard lives only in the Old World (Eurasia and Africa).
The leopard is found across Africa, Asia, and the Amur region of Russia. Jaguars are found in all of south and Central America, and in recent years, north to the U. S. border with Mexico in Texas, as well. The jaguar has a shorter, more stocky build than the leopard. Also, the jaguar tends to have larger rosettes with spots in the middle; the leopard has plain rosettes with no central spot in the middle. In addition, jaguars have a much broader forehead and wider jaw because they kill their prey differently than leopards. Unlike other big cats, jaguars kill prey by crushing the spinal column and must have a much stronger bite in order to do so. This means that the shape of their skull is unique among the cat species. As a result, they have the strongest bite-force of any member of the cat family--even stronger than lions and tigers.
The jaguar weighs twice as much on average than a leopard.
Leopard is African and an animal of scrub and open grassland dotted with trees. Jaguar is American, an animal of dense scrub and forest and is larger and more massively built than a leopard.
