Jaguar Cubs – Black or Spotted

Depending on the parents, jaguar cubs can be born black or with spots. Less than 10 percent of jaguars are black and the cubs of a black mother or father (also known as black panthers) can turn out either yellow with spots or black, with black cubs possibly being the more likely outcome. If both parents have spots then their cubs will all be yellow with spots as well. Usually, the spots are still detectable on the black jaguars as well.

Jaguars are the largest cats in the Americans and are spread out all throughout South America and north as far as the southern part of the United States. They are stocky and very muscular cats with a very strong bite.
