Leopard Jaguar Difference For the Uninformed
There are many differences between the Leopard Jaguar and similar looking Germanic breeds. Some of these include length, weight, looks, type of tail, size etc but I’m sure you have noticed the leopard jaguars distinctive “elongated” tail that many owners describe as looking like a water spout or something similar. Anyway, let’s move on to some other Leopard Jaguar information. These massive felines can be pretty aggressive, so make sure you leave them where they belong: in the wild.
While we’re discussing the leopard’s looks, it’s important to point out the one big different that is the Leopard Jaguar’s coloration. The standard color of a leopard is either black or gray, with sometimes reddish coloring, and sometimes even orange. They range in color from orange to reddish to black, but it isn’t limited to these colors; sometimes they’ll get almost rainbow-colored streaks. Their standard coloring makes them one of the most attractive (and expensive) cats in the cat world, but as with everything in nature, there are always exceptions and variations. In this case, the leopard jaguar in nature is usually orange with gray fur, and they tend to lose their black color when they are stressed, which explains the common “jaguar spots” seen in many homes.
As for size, leopard jaguars range between twenty-one to twenty-six inches in length, with females being slightly larger than males (they often weigh twenty-three to twenty-eight pounds). Their carapace is also quite large, ranging between ten and fifteen inches across, with the inner surface being smooth and leathery, with a wide ridge running along the entire top. Their ears are short and rounded at the tip, while their eyes are larger than their head, and they have large, almond shaped eyes that are extremely sensitive. The leopard jaguar is very unique and is fast and strong, with the ability to run at speeds of thirty to fifty miles per hour.
