    Correcting the species, this is a leopard, not a jaguar. Jaguars don't occur in Africa. The difference can be seen by size but also by their pattern:

The African Leopard

The African Leopard is a leopard subspecies occurring across most of sub-Saharan Africa. In 2008, the IUCN classified leopards as "Near Threatened", stating that they may soon qualify for the Vulnerable status due to habitat loss and fragmentation. They are becoming increasingly rare outside protected areas. The trend of the population is decreasing.
