One of the males was a dominant male named Big George male who got dethroned by Coração male ( heart in portuguese ) in 2012.

Big Gorge name was an homage to George Schaller.


As I was in contact with Crawshaw to get their weights he told me only one of the males was captured.

He told me Big George weighed 100kg.

About the other male he said Coração wasn't captured, his size was only estimated by Allison of 115kg.

You gotta open a new Area in the middle of the table for Central Pantanal Jaguars, between north/south.


ID                 Weight           Source                Area                          Age
Big George   100kg           Panthera         Central Pantanal         Adult

Despite adding Big George to the pantanal table there's another adult male comfirmed of 100kg who as you saw just a few days ago on my post in the Jaguars of Brazil thread this male was one of the jaguars that was predating on many horses In the Private Reserve Patrimônio Natural - Acurizal (RPPN), he weighed 100kg verified and also was monitored with collar by researchers of the species so lets add him to the table as well.

And since we don't know his ID until we figure out who he is lets call him ''Horse Killer'' that way it'll be easier to know.


ID                   Weight           Source                                  Area                           Age
Horse Killer     100kg    Unknown but Comfirmed.      Central Pantanal         Adult

Did you already add Leão ( lion ) Cerrado male from my last post above to the Cerrado jags table??


here's the link of the Cerrado males page table bellow.

My bad, I got busy and forgot to add the new Cerrado weight, will do it right now.

As a side note, those 100 kg males from Central Pantanal don't look that big at first sight, in fact, if you would've asked I would've said they probably weighed 85 kg. This is good information because it shows that we can't solely rely on pictures to gauge the size of an animal. Reply
