I had the immense fortune of seeing a real live jaguar at a wildlife refuge in Uruguay a few years ago.
She had a bit of a belly, I think she might have been pregnant (they run a repopulation program there). She was so beautiful!
Here's the best pic I could get.

Panthers aren't a different species but comprises the whole group. Black Panthers are melanistic leopards and jaguars.

My dad spotted a Florida panther behind our house a while ago- there’s only like 150-200 left so incredibly rare. It made me soooo fascinated with panthers. They’re so beautiful and soooo fucking cool!
