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.

I'm going to compare the largest skull shown which is a Chaco Male to an Almeida Skull which will give us an idea of it's size. 

Chaco Male had a skull length of 11.96 inches x 8.38'' which is a total score of 20.34'' 

a comparable skull from Almeida would be either Thornton Snider's male that had a total score of 20.31'' and a weight of 101kg's or Dave Lauzen's who had a total score of 20.37'' and a weight of 112kg.

Safe to assume the Chaco Male was a big Jag, comparable to the Pantanal Jaguars.
