Jaguar hunted in Galan, Santander in the Magdalena Medio basin of Colombia (not the Llanos eco-region) in 1955. According to the newspaper report (El Tiempo, the largest in the country), the jaguar had a weight of over 12 arrobas which translates to more than 136.07 kg, and almost three meters in total length including the tail. This was a cattle killer that reportedly killed more than 35 heads of cattle within 5 months.

The picture above shows the proportions of this specimen. The body was inflated as it was going through a state of decomposition which made it look bigger, but nonetheless, this was an exceptionally big cat. You can see the magnitude of its head by comparing it with the dog right behind it. The man at the back is an adult whereas the rest are children.
