mySFWaccount comments on Black panthers are not an actual species - they are jaguars and leopards with melanism, the opposite of albinism

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.

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.
