From Chester Zoo:



Rescued male Atuano from Jaguars Unto the Wild foundation. His build is amazing:















Yum Balam male





Maximus male





Andrómeda female





Cielo female from BJWT


Somehow captive jaguars are much more robust than their wild counterparts in general.

I disagree, captive jaguars that I have seen in person normally lack the muscle definition that their wild counterparts have because they don't get as much exercise. These ones are an exception because the sanctuary they are in constantly puts them to the test to build healthy weight. Jaguars, in general, have a robust build with a thick chest and huge jaws. 

Here are some examples of four wild Argentinian jaguars for you to compare:

He's huge, to me his build reminds more to that of an extinct bear-dog than it does a cat with its huge jaws. These jaguars are tracked by the organization Redyaguarete of Argentina, here is another big one they caught:

Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan (Byculla zoo), inspired by Ranthambore terrain, designed for their new felines the only water-walled enclosure of India. The landscaping of the 3,500 sq metre expanse, a recreation of the indigenous habitat of the forest at Ranthambore National Park, complete with bamboo, neem trees & other prairie flora was created before the pair of felines arrived from Aurangabad.
