Jaguar's babies are actually very similar to their parents. They are known to be called "Jaguar Cubs" or just "cubs". A female jaguar can actually only give birth to 2-4 cubs at a time unlike most animals. Cubs are usually supposed to stay with their mothers for about 2 years. This helps them learn how to survive on their own in the next few years. Jaguar cubs look a lot like their parents whether their parents have black skin with spots or yellow tanned skin with spots. If a yellow tanned skin Jaguar mates with a black skinned Jaguar with spots the 2-4 babies would either come out fully yellow tanned, black skinned with spots, or most times the jaguars would come out mixed. Most of the times the cubs would come out 2 black skinned with spots and 2 yellow tanned skin with spots or it would be uneven. For example; 1 black skinned with spots and 2 yellow tanned skin with spots.
