Well, in fact, jaguars at Central America has been always small. The population of Belize and Guatemala is one of the largest and is relative well protected. They do not surpass the 70 kg apparently, based in the few captured specimens and people testimonies. I personally saw one of about 90 kg, but it is a captive male and very old.

Jaguars are forced to found any prey available because they evolved to be a dominant carnivore of large preys, but now they habitat only support the tapir as a large prey and they normally live at low densities. Deer and peccaries do not surpass the 50 kg normally. Disappointed
