difference between Cheetah, Leopard and Jaguar

Cheetah, Leopard and Jaguar:

People mostly confuse for the differences between cheetah, Leopard and Jaguar.

1. Cheetah.
Compared to Leopard and Jaguar, Cheetah is much thinner than the both other animals. Cheetahs have simple black dots in their body. They have solid, round, polka-type black spots measuring 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.2 in) across. Cheetah is the fastest running animal. Cheetahs are unable to climb trees like leopard and jaguar does because of the claws in their feet. Its high-speed pursuits which can reach 112 to 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts Heres the image of a cheetah
2. Leopard
Leopard has a bigger dots than cheetah but smaller than jaguars. jaguars have smaller spots inside the polygonal rosettes. Their running speed is also fairly good and can reach over 58 kilometers per hour (36 mph). They can leap over six meters (20 ft) horizontally and jump up to 3 meters (9.8 ft) vertically.

3. Jaguar:
It is the third largest in the cat family after Tiger and Lion. This animal has the strongest bite of all felids. It is capable of biting down with 2,000 pounds-force (8,900 N), which is twice the strength of a lion and the second powerful of all mammals after the spotted hyena; It allows the jaguar to pierce turtle shells. The strength of the cat is such that an individual can drag a 360 kg (800 lb) bull 8 m (25 ft) in its jaws and crush the strongest bones. To employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of its prey between the ears to deliver a fatal bite to the brain.Rosettes on jaguars vary over individual coats and between individual animals: They may include one or several dots, and even the shapes of dots vary. Most  rosettes have a black spot in the center, separated from the out ring by the animal’s yellow ground color. Spots found on the head and neck are generally solid, as are those on the tail.Jaguars are compact and well-muscled cats. Their weight and size vary to a large extent: weight is generally in the range of 56–96 kilos (124–211 lb). Larger males have been recorded as heavy as 160 kilos (350 lb) (almost equal to a lioness or tigress). In length jaguars vary from 1.2 to 1.95 m (3.9 to 6.4 ft), with their tails adding another 45 to 75 cm (18 to 30 in). They stand 63 to 76 cm (25 to 30 in) tall at the shoulders.
