There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

"-Jaguars love water, leopards hate it. .................. Do you want me to post leopard hunting fish in mud-waters in Africa?? Common, i know you are a experienced guy.Jaguars hunt in water because they live with caiman (small crocs) and leopards hates water because they live with Nile crocodiles.Mugger and salt water crocs in Asia.  "

This is incorrect, in captivity it is the same. Tigers and Jaguars are always drawn to the water, they seek it out even on colder days.
Just look at Black Jaguar White Tiger, he says time and time again, jags and tigers are the ones who love the water, the rest do not.
Caimans also can grow quite large, comparable to Muggers, especially Black Caimans and Sunderban Tigers love the water and share it with the largest croc species in the world.

Exceptions aren't the rule.

"-Jaguar aren't as adaptable as Leopards when it comes to habitat .......... What does it mean?? Original is always original, that is why leopards happily adaptable in living along with Lions/Tigers,Wild dogs,Wolves and Hyena packs but Jaguars are not. Lion,Jag and Leopards are evolved from one subspecies.  "

What I mean is that jaguars haven't been able to adapt to metro life, the Leopard has been by far the most successful in this transition, most likely due to it's to
ability to hide high up during the day, dragging prey there as well, the jaguar doesn't possess this ability.


"3. DNA is sure about [color=#000000]Lion,Jag and Leopards are evolved from one subspecies.  "

What's your point?
By this logic, a Hippo and Whale are the same.


"2.See skulls of two cats, same to same.You can check small two holes below the canines. The differences in sizes is like Bengals,Sunderban and Sumatran Tigers."

Not true at all, differences in skulls are small, even between lions and tigers, you must study them before you make these claims.
They offer numerous differences, Skull size (width and length) canine length and robustness

You don't notice the difference between the two?

The steep slope in the maxilla frontal area, difference in rostrum length, canine differences, the much denser and wider skull table and overall size differences to name a few.


"1. I think you knew one Indian leopard weighted 108 kg (Balaji) in wild was captured in the past. "

I highly doubt it, I haven't seen anything on this leopard. Weights, body measurements, capture method, etc.
And still, that weight is the exception, not the rule and it's nothing special for a Jaguar.

"For ex: 120 kg Sumatran Tiger is not a different species from 222kg Bengal tiger even-though it has dark color coat,thick stripes and half the weight of Bengal. Forget about Sumatran even Sundarban (avg 110kg) mangrove tigers may vary in every aspect but they are 100% Bengal tigers."

Sunderban Tigers are classified as Bengals but even that is debatable but in regards to Sumatran compared to Bengals,
they are different subspecies, just like a leopard has different subspecies, jaguar, lion and more.


It seems as though every time data and proof is presented, you deny it or simply change arguments. The burden of proof is on you, if you have actual evidence proving these experts wrong, you should present it, instead of simplified opinions that seem to have ulterior motives behind them...Like a personal preference towards a particular animal.

This obviously proves that the differences between the Jaguar and Leopard are a bit more than "a couple of dots."
