Why do you say this?

Both tigers and jaguars have partially webbed toes, do they not?
I have seen both swim under water and for long distances. I don't think their is a top speed tested between the two of them, but tigers have swam extremely long distances as I'm sure jaguars have as well.
 

 

I agree with @Pckts, both cats are great swimmers.

Both evolved in the jungle and incredible, both have similar life stiles and hunting techniques. Sadly, while the social life of the tiger is well know in many parts (mostly Nepal and Russia), the social life of jaguars is still not well understood.

There are several stories of tigers killing people in the Sundarbans, when they are in they boats and in the deepest part of the water. That is why I think that the scene in "The life of Pi", where the tiger is unable to climb to the boat, is inaccurate.
 

Do Jaguars also have webbed feet?
