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.

He is one of the largest males currently at Caiman Ecological Refuge. This is my current ranking for males at Caiman who currently reside in the area:

Robusto is still in the area but he's now past his prime and has lost body mass, and up-and-coming males Acerola and Mango both weigh more than 110 kg but they are still 3-year-old sub-adults and I only included males 4+ in this list. Which one is your favorite?
Jafar is stunning, he has such a clean face, looks like he's never been in a fight or at least never been hit in the face ?
Jafar is a young male. I said all the males on the list are 4+ years of age but Jafar could potentially be younger, he's just really massive already. He only appeared in the area a couple of weeks back. Upon his arrival, a sub-adult male named Jerônimo, son of Surya, disappeared from the area, Jafar might've killed in.
Acerola/Iracelmo was also displaced from his territory, which now Jafar rules, and was later found with deep neck wounds that forced the local biologists to remove his collar. It's likely that those wounds were inflicted to him by Jafar during the displacement battles. Guides tell me Jafar is bigger than Acerola who at 3 years of age weighed 116 kg with stomach content. I hope they can capture and track Jafar as well:
