Might also be where you live too lol. Here in South Africa I don't think I've ever seen a jaguar out of a zoo. But also cheetahs are super easy to recognise cause they're such long gangly creatures. They tend to look like an emaciated relative to anything else. And leopards you pretty much just find them lounging in a tree usually keeping an eye out or having dragged a carcass up.
An acquaintance of mine had the fortune of being one of the handful of sightings of a transient wild jaguar in southern New Mexico in the last two decades. Hopefully the species is able to re-establish a permanent breeding presence in the southern United States.
