Difference between a jaguar and a cheetah?

wow, I can’t outdo that response…but basically, a jaguar is a big muscular black cat and a cheetah is a thin, swift, golden cat with tons of black spots.

Well, yeah I cant out do your first answer either but basically from my own mind and mouth is that a jaguar is a little bigger and heavier than a cheetah. A cheetahs hind quarters are a little higher than its front while the jaguar is regularly proportioned. A cheetahs head is a little smaller and rounder and she has black markings around her nose and eyes (sorta like a football player) while the jaguar doesnt. Sometimes a jaguar is black but most of the time its the same colors as the cheetah golden with black spots, but the cheetahs gold is alittle lighter. The cheetah also has skinnier, longer legs than the jaguar seeing as she uses them to run while the jaguar uses his to climb. Basically the jaguar is a little more heavy set and stockier than the cheetah

Jaguars have a bigger, more muscular build than the cheetah, which is very thin and wiry, with a body shape that’s almost like that of a grey hound. Also, although I guess this is a rather small detail, cheetahs don’t have retractable claws, because they need the traction for sprinting.

The jaguar doesn’t have the same tan with black spotted pelt as the cheetah, but the leopard does. The jaguar and the leopard have very similar body shapes, though, and so I can understand mixing them up. The difference between a leopard and a cheetah is that the cheetah has solid black spots, whereas the leopard has rose-shaped spotting, and the cheetah has almost tear markings on its face, which the leopard does not.

the jaguar is black, cheetah is kinda brown with black spots
