Cougar is not only tropical cat, it has much wider distribution including Northern cold snowy landscapes as Canada and Patagonia where there aren't reptiles and where short-legged jaguar cant survive. Cougar is an universalist hunter and does not depende of reptiles as mash the jaguar, Noth America unlike Sout America is rich of large mammals - moose, deer, bighorn et. His head is relatively small to the body hence his bite can not be so strong as the bite of the jaguar. Modern jaguar is strictly tropical cat, the cougar is both Northern and tropical cat.
For the cougar are typical relatively long legs and relatively small head, that's why he is strong jumper.
For the jaguar are typical relatively short legs and relatively big head. This are completely difrerent cats.
