The Jaguar is often confused with the Leopard because both have spots in rosettes, butthose of the Jaguar have a black spot in the centre. The yellowish ground colour is similar in both but in the Jaguar the rosettes tend to be more concentrated along the back. Jaguars are 5½ - 9ft (1.7 - 2.7m) in height with one third being the tail.  At the length  shoulder they stand around 2½ ft and can weigh between 125 & 250lb which makes them heavier than the Leopard or Puma. Jaguars are good tree climbers and usually have their own territory of 2 - 5 square miles.
