3 are from East Africa, 2 are Persian (the most beautifull specimens I've ever seen with nice elongated body). I don't know the origin of the 3 jaguars, most probably from Brazil. Again jaguars are 1,5-2 times more massive, I have seen them hundred times. I don't talk so much about linear size - length or height but about immense, almost bear-like robustness of the jaguars. Look how jaguar is walking, almost like a bear, for sure not gracious like other cats. In same linear dimentions of jaguar you could place 1,5 leopards, which are much more slender.

Pantanal is famous as place where big jaguars could be easily spotted. But I dont think that jaguars from other parts of Brazil are much smaller. Amazon rain forest in Brazil and surrounding countries comprise 90% of jaguars in the world and they all are more or less big, not far in size to Pantanals jaguars. True, jaguars from South Mexico are much smaller and have a size of leopards, but their number is insignificant in comparison with jaguars from the endless Amazon forest and they are not representative for the specie. If we get the smallest leopard subspecie - Arabian they are definetily smaller than southern Mexican jaguars, with females Arabian leopards having average body mass of 20 kg... and some of them even 15 kg...

So, lets not turn upsite down a fact that everybody should know from the school - that jaguar is by far the third largest cat in the world.

Bucky is based on Stan, scaled to 1.275 meter ilium, and is probably about 3.5-4 tonnes, while MUCPv-Ch1 is scaled to 12.32 meters TL and 7.53 tonnes. Credit to Hartman and GetAwayTrike.

Always appreciate the comparisons but a comment on this one. Statistically, the lower sizes comparison is inaccurate. We have more T. rex specimens on hand, as such, we'll have representation of the lowest percentiles. We have two(?) G. carolinii so by probability both these specimens would fall closer to the 50th percentile. As such, here a T. rex from say the 10th percentile is being compared with a G. carolinii of the 50th percentile and therefore the lower sizes are not truly being compared. It'd probably be better to depict the comparison between the average sized T. rex.
