Jaguar facts: and How They Compare to Leopards | Shoikat180

Jaguars are often cited as the third largest cats alive today. They can be confused with the similar looking leopard so this video will take a moment to discuss ways to tell these two big cats apart. While they'll never naturally come in contact in the wild, considering they're separated by an ocean, they can be tough to distinguish between pictures. Jaguars live in the Americas though they have lost about 50% of their former range to habitat loss and hunting by humans. These big cats are often associated with dense jungles but they can also be found in grassland savannahs, swamps, and even mountain forests. They also love water much like tigers!
