There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

He's a large boy but Paulo said there's quite a few Jags there who are larger than he is.
Are there any measurements on Adriano besides his weight?
I'll see if I can get some, but according to Paulo he's a fairly normal sized male just extremely robust in his build.
Jaguars don't really look really big. They are heavy since they have muscular bodies. I've only seen smaller central American jaguars living in zoo. How big was female and male jaguars when you were in Pantanal? Comparing their sizes to big dogs like great pyrenees, great dane, Irish wolfhound, saint bernard, and other mastiff?
Shoulder height is between a Rottweiler and English Mastiff.
Marley for instance was surprisingly tall but smaller in frame, definitely taller than any Leopard I've seen but shorter than a Lioness/Tigress. He was the first Jaguar I saw and i remember being shocked how tall he was since i was expecting them to be Leopard height.
Body length is long but their spine curves so it's harder to tell, but they are very robust and their Skulls are just massive.
Females are dwarfed by large males, no matter how large the female, but the largest female I saw named Hunter was just probabaly slightly smaller than Marley but dwarfed by the male she was with.
You can see Hunter and that male below
