Jaguar and Leopard. This is the only pic I have ever seen of these two cats ''together'' (they're separated by the fence haha) Does anybody know any other interaction between Jaguars and Leopards??? I would be much appreciated to have a look at it.

The only other one I know of was Michael and Dharma from BJWT and from all accounts, Michael the Jaguar was a nasty boy. He had to be removed from the big pride for being too possessive of Eddie. Dharma was removed for being out gunned early on and Eddie moved Tierra a Tigress with him since he and her grew up together and he didn't want Dharma to be lonely. Dharma now has 2 female Leopards with him and Tierra now lives with Alcyone, the Male Tiger that was removed from the Big Pride for fighting with Luke, one of the Lions.
Eddie has always said that Jaguars are the Best fighters of the group and if they were Lion or Tiger sized, they'd be the most dangerous by far.

Here is his comments on Dharma compared to Jaguars when it was brought up

That's interesting I always wondered why we have like millions accounts and interactions between lions and tigers and almost none of Leopards and Jags together, I knew they were hard to tame but it just confirms even more what I assumed back in the days.

Jaguar, leopards and cougar in same enclosure, also from BJWT:

And a 400lbs / 180kg (!) lepjag hybrid from Siegfried and Roy:

cool video, I also managed to find this one

at 7:15 to the end you'll see the Leopard and Dark Jag together.

That hybrid is something unheard of by me I could hardly gather any info regarding to their interactions I could never imagine there was a hybrid of these 2 in the past. great find. Do you guys know if it was sired by male jag and female leopard or the other way around? Reply
