Do you have any genetic chart of Jag-leopard??

Barbary lions are no larger apparently, asiatic lions and barbary lions are of a different sub species.
The leopards named are different sub species as well and thus their measurements will be different, all though close, they are still different.

A jaguar on the other hand is not a sub species of the leopard, but a completely different species of Panthera.

All that being said, all big cats will share common ancestors if you go back far enough but that still doesn't mean a Tiger is a lion, a jaguar is a leopard, a puma is a snow leopard etc. Reply
