RE: Jaguar Directory - Balam - 02-27-2021

Today is February 2nd, World Wetland Day. The day before yesterday I arrived from the largest floodplain on the planet: the Pantanal, the “home of the jaguars”. In the rainy season it is not easy to find them, but, in addition to Daring, I had the privilege of reviewing Tusk or Angry (there are two catalogs in the region and we are talking to everyone involved to unify). 

I personally don't like the idea of using human adjectives to name jaguars, I find it limiting. The Angry One in this photo looks more like “Sweetie”. Calling a jaguar Medrosa is even an offense (after all, she's afraid of what, isn't she?). BUT the idea of unifying the catalog assumes that the person who takes the first photo of an unidentified jaguar has the right to name it: be it Curioso, Peter Schmidt or Juru (real names of jaguars already cataloged). The important thing is that everyone participates and provides information and images to researchers!

Remembering Hero

He ruled Porto Jofre for a very long period of time, up until last year, so he was conspecific with males from earlier generations like Wilson and Lopez, to Adriano, Mick, and Maxime, and up until the newer gen of alpha males like Edno and Balam. It's likely that his massive size helped him keep the competition at bay.

Capi was around 3 years of age when this was captured, by that age a very large female like her could weigh in between 65-80 kg, who really knows how big he really was to dwarf her the way he did, my guess is he was similar in size to Lopez.

Different specimens from PJ

Today is World Wildlife Day, which today makes us think, and who knows, one day we may understand that this world we live in is not just ours! ⠀

As a tribute I will release some posts with pictures of wild animals, and to begin with it could not be with a different animal: the jaguar, the largest feline in America and a Brazilian symbol of biodiversity conservation. ⠀

August 2020 before he was treated for damage from the fires. I can't believe he "only" weighed 110 kg, I wonder if they held the scale up for enough time to capture his entire weight.

He's back and looking bulky.
With his personality he could be a dominate male in the area for years to come.

This is a subjective impression of mine but you can even see it in his facial demeanors that he seems "meaner" and more serious in a way, as supposed to the more immature and innocent look he had before. I've noticed that same "innocence" with Edno and Xingu as well, while Balam on the contrary is very intimidating. Juru has definitely have had to endure a lot to compete with all the large males at PJ so I'm rooting he can establish a territory of his own finally.

NORTHERN PANTANAL

Posting the profile of Dani male


*This image is copyright of its original author

What strikes me the most about him is how large he looked walking besides cattle in the picture below, usually size comparisons like this offer a better idea of the size of an animal. I wonder where he is and how he's doing nowadays.

"The cattle-jaguar conflict is the second major threat to jaguar conservation after habitat destruction.


We would like to share this photo to demonstrate that not all jaguars should be labeled "cattle killers".

More than often, jaguars are killed because it is believed by most cattle ranchers that they kill cattle. These cats are opportunistic--if they come across a calf, weak, sick, or an "easy meal" they'll go for it. However, in nature a mother teachs their young to prey on natural prey, like capybara and caiman. In areas like the Pantanal, jaguars have a full plate. However, 200-300 jaguars are killed each year in the Pantanal mainly because it is believe they're ALL cattle killers."

Someone who alleged to work for Oncafari commented the following regarding cattle-jaguar conflicts under the above picture:


*This image is copyright of its original author

It seems like if they have the choice jaguars will select for the most readily available medium-sized prey like caiman and capybara over cattle, their reputation as cattle killers may have been inflated by hunters who wanted an excuse to kill them. Interestingly, this also negates the claims made by a few bitter people on certain forums that jaguars only attain very large sizes when they feed on cattle, despite the largest males in recent times inhabiting areas where caiman and capybara make up most of the diet of jaguars. Perhaps in the southern Pantanal feral hogs may also contribute to the larger sizes. So long as jaguars can gorge themselves frequently with prey that can provide at least 30-35 kg of edible meat in one sitting, they have no need to rely on cattle to grow huge since the supply of meat would be constant.

Theres a nice short interview at Panthera farm at Fazenda Jofre Velho with Rafael Hoogesteijn and Fernando Tortato talking exatcly about that. I 'll drop it as soon as I finish translations.
