In the Pantanal a male jaguar may use as much as km2 and a female closer on 70km2. Male leopards at Londolozi Game Reserve Kruger National Park could have a territory of roughly 40km2 and a female of approximately 15km2. Although there can be huge variation in these numbers, the averages serve the purpose of illustrating how Jaguars utilize an incredibly large area. Follow the links below to our website dedicated to the Leopards of Londolozi.
Directly descended from the original mother leopard and therefore part of the royal lineage of Londolozi. Killing Style Leopards kill using a suffocating bite. This bite will usually be around the throat, or may in fact be around the mouth. Both species of cat prefer to hunt by stalking and ambush rather then lengthy chases.
A leopard hunts a herd of impala by means of ambush. A leopard kills a waterbuck with a killing bite to the throat. Diet Leopards are the cat with the most varied diet.
They eat just about anything. The current dietary list for a leopard sits at just under species. Jaguars are not far behind on Both these cats show signs that they are able to adapt to feeding on whatever is in the area.
In the Pantanal, jaguars eat a large number of big animals like cattle. It is said that the jaguar is the only big cat, which shows a particular liking to reptiles turtles, tortoises, caimans and snakes.
Moving Kills Both species show a tendency to move a kill once it has been made. However, due to the nature of the prey, a jaguar will usually drag its prize whilst walking backwards. A leopard, on the other hand, will pull it forwards. Jaguars do not attempt to hide their kills using leaves or sand, a practice often seen with leopards.

Adam, thank you so much for the insight into the differences of the Jaguar and Leopard. The physical were somewhat obvious, however, I had no idea how powerful the jaw of the Jaguar was or how much they weighed.
They are both such magnificent cats. How educational! America…I have come across Mountain Lions Puma in Marin County and Yosemite and can just imagine I would have leapt out of my skin at the sight of a Jaguar — so fierce and beautiful! Thank you. I knew about the difference between the two designs of rosettes, but I could never remember which cat had which spots!
Also, the difference in tail length and the reason for it was extremely interesting. I had no idea that jaguars backed up when moving pray. Anyway, I could go on and on about all of the fantastic information. Kruger is located in Africa. As far as I can tell, they have five web cams set up, each at a different water hole.
This was the first time I watched during their day, just before dusk. The other time was at night. There were interesting looking birds, a huge Water Buffalo, with one of those little pecking birds on it they showed a close-up , and, ta da! They hung out for quite a while. I live in the United States on the west coast.
There have been black jaguar sittings in Texas. And yesterday I watched an interesting documentary about black Jaguars in a different part of the country I forget which state. They are living in the proximity of homes and towns. Adam—this is fantastic.
After 15 jaguar sightings in 5 days all along the river bank from a small boat I really love the Londolozi leopards—especially the C. I will return next year but will not return to the Pantanal—for a few reasons, but not the jaguars. Thanks for the pictures. They are awesome! Fascinating blog and great to be able to reference the difference between these two impressive cats on one page.
Thanks for putting this together Ad. I hope i will be back soon to both places!! By the way,could you please send our love to Talley Smith?
Thank you Adam, great to see the 2 cats matched like this. Is it perhaps possible to order the Projecto Oncafari T-shirts? Thank you Adam! Both are beautiful cats.. The leopard I think is a bit more elegant…. I would be so grateful if you would tell me which kinds of trees leopards seem to favour, and also which types of trees jaguars favour. They can technically be either, mainly due to semantics.
If a leopard is black but upon a closeup look you can see the rosettes then it may frequently called a black panther. However, there does not actually exist a large cat that is simply known as a panther. So this car should be technically called a black leopard. The exact same thing would be true for s jaguar, so it would be or should be called black jaguar. I agree with many of the comments made by the previous readers. I am very appreciative of the information you gave us regarding your personal observations of the Leopard and the Jaguar.
They are magnificant! Actually, all of the Big Cats and all Animals in general are just stunning. I am glad and happy that you can realize all this and how fortunate it is for you and the animals. Thank you for your work. Great explanation, this was a great resource for my young daughter and I. She is fascinated by large cats and hope to work with them one day. Your explanations have educated so we now know the differences between the two. Maybe one day we can travel to assist with conservation.
Both are beautiful animals and thank you for this great educational tool. Thank you for this very informative post — I have been wondering about this for a while now… They are such beautiful and majestic creatures — to be able to see them in the wild!
All the best, Karen. This is a fantastic article. Thanks for sharing this and enabling enhancement of knowledge on the subject. Very, very interesting! I have always wondered about the difference between the two cats. Actually caught the animal on film!
I suppose such an elusive animal is almost impossible to study or keep track of. Thanks again for the info!!! Hi Wes, thats absolutely fascinating. It never fails to suprise me how versatile and adaptable both the leopard and jaguar are to new habitats and territories.
This is true for their ability to not only survive, but thrive in these seemingly far removed areas. Thanks for your comments, im glad you found the information useful.. These really are fascinating animals, and you have done a wonderful job comparing the two.
I appreciate how easy this was to read and understand. It seems most articles about wildlife are either far too long and wordy, or are written in a more scholarly form which can be a little difficult to understand. You have really peaked my interest in these beautifully powerful cats. Great to hear Judson, we aim to provide entertaining yet educational content about these magnificent cats as well as other wildlife species which we have the privilege of viewing on a daily basis.
Please feel free to ask any further questions and we will try our best to answer them. Great stuff. Its easy to distinguish other cats but I was always confused about the two. Its clear now. Very clear information. I will never be unsure again about Leopard and Jaguar.
I draw wild animals and now I am more confident about the size ratio and rosette design. Thanks for your awesome post. I was really surprised to see the hippopotamus was ranked lower than others when it can bite a person in half. In the most honourable and inspirational African stories their skins are expensive and are worn by kings.. In the traditional healing department some of their bones,fir,muscle and fats are needed for healing certain sicknesses and deceases..
A few left alive are very lucky…even more lucky to have you and me to safe their existence…good work. This is very informative. It really helped me understand the difference between the two marvelous creatures.
Thank you…Great Compilation with wonderfull pictures.. Very well explained.. Thanks once again.. Thanks Adam now I have a good clear different between the two Cats as I like jaguar cat and a car. Thanks Adam. I loved this aproach.
I love this information and the pictures. So informative and helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very informative thank you, you have certainly cleared up all my questions and wonderment. Again thank you and keep up the good work.
Hi, love the article, Most sources say that the Salt Water Croc has the strongest bite, not the Nile. Some also say that the Black Piranha has an even stronger bite still, although that could depend on how it is measured. Very nice post. Wolverine was not in the list of animals with the most powerful pound for pound?
But very good informative post. Ai mesmo no pantanal. Cada felino tem sua peculiaridade. Nice post. I wish someone could do a similar post of differences between Indian leopards and African leopards.
I specifically mean leopards of Kabini or Bandipur South India and londolozi leopards. Second difference is Indian leopards have generally thicker-walled, larger rosettes with fewer breaks , while African leopards have thinner walled and smaller rosettes. The thid difference is in Indian leopards, smaller rosettes on their forelimbs and shoulders collapse into blotches while in African leopards the smaller rosettes on their forelimbs and shoulders break up into spots.
Really appreciate the the trouble you took to show fully the differences…although I may never see either of these in the wild…videos and photos are always out there and this gave me lots of references. Great article, but slightly skeptical of your bite-force rankings. The bite force list is innacurate. The hyenas are bone eaters, so need crush them and because this have more bite force.
In the other hand, the jaguar it is not a bone eater, but a flesh eater, however your hunt technique implies a big strength bite — as written in text -, lagging just behind the hyenas.
And there is no way to say that any land mamal can compete in bite force with the the marine mamals, the cetaceans. They are ridiculously large. This article about both jaguar n leapord is amazing and very interesting to know the two big cats everything is explained nicely to detail thank u. Man cannot study the animal kingdom and learn anything worthwhile after having subjugated it. You might as well be studying human behavior in Harlem, New York and applying it to the rest of humanity.
Also, the jaguar used to go all the way up to Canada as did the Amazon before european colonization. Love this article! We are from the US and have been on multiple African safaris.
We are preparing for our first Brazilian safari and was wondering how the jaguar and leopard compare. This article was perfect! Thanks, Carla. Jaguars have an average shoulder height of between 55 and 76cm males are bigger than females , and leopards are similar, except Jaguars tend to be much stockier, and outweigh leopards significantly.
