  Jaguar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The jaguar looks very much like the leopard, but it is sturdier and heavier, and the two animals may be distinguished by their rosettes: the rosettes on a jaguar’s coat are larger, fewer in number, and usually darker with thicker lines that enclose smaller spots, which the leopard does not possess.
The jaguar is strongly associated with water and it often prefers to live by rivers, swamps, and in dense rainforest with thick cover for stalking prey.
When adapted to the prey, jaguars have been shown to take cattle as a large portion of their diet; while land clearance for grazing is a present problem for the species, jaguar numbers may actually have increased when cattle were first introduced to South America, given the new prey base.

I have been reading and enjoying Eribon's biography of Michel Foucault for work and leisure, and I was delighted to come across this section about Foucault's purchase of a Jaguar while he worked and lived in the Swedish university town of Uppsala.
More on Foucault's Jaguar after a google: "More notoriety came Foucault's way when he acquired a Jaguar sports car," writes Macey of Foucault's period in Sweden.
In terms of actually owning a car, a Jaguar certainly isn't to my tastes (far too bourgie), although I admire the early Jaguars for their graceful, yet purposeful regal styling.

 FORD MOTOR COMPANY : Encyclopedia Entry
Since 1989, Ford has acquired Aston Martin, Jaguar, Daimler (division of Jaguar), Land Rover, and Rover from the United Kingdom and Volvo Cars from Sweden, as well as a controlling share (33.4%) of Mazda of Japan, with which it operates an American joint venture plant in Flat Rock, Michigan called Auto Alliance.
The company had made plans to manufacture up to 250,000 hybrids a year by 2010, but has since had to back down on that commitment, due to excessively high costs and the lack of sufficient supplies of the hybrid-electric batteries and drivetrain system components.
Jaguar achieved little success in Formula One, and after a turbulent five seasons, Ford pulled out of the category after the 2004 season, selling both Jaguar Racing (which became Red Bull Racing) and Cosworth (to Gerald Forsythe and Kevin Kalkhoven).

I'm concerned that the effectiveness of this might be subject to the semantic context in which the tags were authored.
So, a 'Jaguar' tag on a car website has a different meaning from a 'Jaguar' tag on a large primate conservation website.
To disambiguate homonyms, you might need an additional layer of disambiguation which does something similar to search engines which use analysis of how search terms form separable clusters of links in the search space.

 Puma Summary
It is more closely related to the common house cat than to the four "big cats", the tiger, lion, jaguar and leopard.
In North America, particularly the United States, panther by itself refers to a puma when the context implies a local species, although the term fl panther is correctly associated only with the melanistic variants of leopards or jaguars rather than pumas.
The melanistic gene can be seen in a variety of cats, including the lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, caracal, jaguarundi, serval, ocelot, margay, bobcat, lynx, and Geoffroy's Cat; however, melanism has never been documented in Puma concolor, although urban legends of "fl panthers" persist.
