Abstract
The jaguar is one of the biggest cats in South and Central America. It has a morphology similar tothat of the leopard, which is why we tried to establish the anatomical characteristics of its limb bones, fromwhich it is possible to do morphological and functional assessments. The study materials consisted of thebones of a male jaguar (Panthera onca) with melanism which had been donated for teaching purposes by theZoological Garden in Bucharest. Whereas it is a rare species, we describe in detail its limb bonemorphology, in order to complete the existing data in the literature.
