The jaguar is a large heavily built cat that has a yellowish-brown coat with black spots, found mainly in the dense forests of Central and South America. It is the largest feline in the Americas, and one of the four largest cats, referred to informally as the Big Cats: the tiger, jaguar, leopard and lion. When the rare melanistic color variant occurs in a jaguar or leopard it is called a black panther.
