Jaguar vs caiman: who is the top predator? The biggest cats in the world are the lions, tigers, and leopards. But when it comes to size and strength, there’s no contest between these big cats and their competitors: the jaguars and caimans. The jaguars are much bigger than the caimans, averaging about 2 ½ times as large as the caiman.
They also weigh more-up to 180 pounds for a male jaguar vs just 60 to 90 pounds for a female caiman. The jaguar is a large cat that can live in many places around the world. It is native to South America and has been introduced to other parts of the world, like Florida and Texas.
