Neither, the Canadian lynx ranges from 11 to 37 lbs (5 to 17 kg) and the Jaguar from 45 to 114 lbs (67 to 103 kg). But the mountain lion or puma ranges from 148 to 227 lbs (67 to 103 kg). http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/index.html

Jaguar is the third largest of all cats - and it's the biggest of the New World felines. Canadian Lynx is smaller.
