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.

This part summarize everithing.
Your studies itself showed that even at the same prey base, pumas do not weight the same as jaguars, they are two completelly different body plans for cats, they are morphologically distinct and also they have different body needs and metabolism. But the last part, the part of "win in a fight" is what shows that these entire debate is futile. We DON'T discuss "vs" issues, specially between especies that are very well know and that we know that there is a dominance/coexistance/avoidance relation depending of the area that normally favors the jaguar, there is no doubt.
I don't care who win in this fight, I just want o show that your assumptions are incorrect and that you are trying to prove something that do not exist, and you have several posters telling you the same thing.
