Barring the rosettes, it looks almost exactly like this jaguar in Cameron Park Zoo, Texas: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jaguar_-_Cameron_Park_Zoo_-_Waco,_Texas.jpg

From certain angles jaguar and leopard look quite same and it can be confusing if not knowing differences. With brief look they can be mixed especially if that kind of comparison photos.
But putting animals side by side, differences are very clear. Jaguar is simply more robust, but naturally with selected photos that difference can be made to look like less, than what it is in reality after all.

That's a female Jaguar snarling at River Otters not a Leopard.
Also, Jaguars and Leopards are very different from one another, there is no mistaking them when you see them in person.

Good notice @Pckts !!
Here: https://sebastiaanvandergreef.nl/portfolio/jaguar-photography-pantanal-2018/
There is that Jaguar and also same photo, what @Spalea shared by accident as leopard. No wonder, that these animals reminded each others
But as said, from certain angles leopards and jaguars can be mixed up, that is really no news. That is why trying to proof for instance size and especially weight of some animal based on photos is useless.

About posting #289 from @BorneanTiger , I deleted copies of that from other threads, because as @Pckts noticed and pointed out, two jaguars in photos. So those other copies could have been only confusing later. What comes to posting something to multiple threads, it is understandable to put in two, if some rare or unusual case concerning two species. If more than two, some reasoning should be there, that what makes the case so exceptional, that needs to be in multiple threads.
I posted recently about brown bears postings, where was visualized in very clear way size differences of brown bear subspecies. So I found it justified to put same posting to brown bears thread and size comparisons because that kind of comparisons from that kind of source aren´t common thing to see. So people interested about brown bears and also people interested to see size comparisons can find those postings later too.

@Pckts @Shadow @BorneanTiger
About #288: my apologies, I made a mistake. According to the link "sebastiaanvandergreef", it's indeed a jaguar from the Pentanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil. I confused it for a big male leopard.

These 2 are probably the most massive leopards that were posed next to a humans that I could find, with both of them being vertical rather than horizontal: http://wingsbeaksandtalons.proboards.com/thread/370/leopard-panthera-pardus, http://adventureunlimited.com/animal/leopard/

I hate these pictures, but this one could rival these pictures...

A leopard sighting is always special, no matter where in Africa - but perhaps all the more so in this special wilderness. Zakouma National Park

Apparently so special that even this pride of Kruger lions dithered on what to do when there was a sneaky leopard just near them plotting its escape!
