Scope note
Largest New World cat, once found from the U.S.-Mexican border southward to Patagonia, Argentina, but with habitat now greatly reduced. Coloration is orange to tan, with black spots arranged in rosettes with a black spot in the center. The base color of the jaguar varies greatly from white to black; although brown and black jaguars appear to be solid-colored, spots are always faintly visible.
