This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Also, Jaguars are from America*, and Leopards are from Africa/Middle East.
Edit: definitely not a lot of jaguars in North America!
Jaguars are from South America. North America has the Mountain Lion aka cougar, puma, screamer, panther or pantera concolor.
Technically not a “big cat “ but it’s the largest of the small cats, 75 - 140 pounds.
No, Jaguar is brit.
I'd say Jaguars are mainly from South and Central America. Central America is technically part of North America, but point is they're more in the South.
