In most cases you can't tell the difference between a female Jaguar and a male Jaguar when their around each other. Not true in this case. This is by far the biggest case of sexual dimorphism amongst Jags I've seen. Just look at how much bigger the males head is from the female. I think it's more that the female Jaguar is a small one though. |

The black color amplifies the size difference. |

Ahh, maybe, but not to me. Forget the color, look at the head/neck size difference. In comparison to the female, it looks like a black lioness and a female leopard. Edited by ImperialDino, Apr 10 2013, 11:43 AM.
