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.

Also this thread is one of the best thread on WidFact. Keep up the good work guys.
Erm, no... Muggars are way larger than most caiman varieties.
The largest ones, the black caiman (Melanosuchus niger), which can grow more than 5 m (16 ft) in length and weigh up to 1,100 kg (2,400 lb) are as large...& heavier maybe.

I have a query... Is "Arizona Jaguar" an accepted concept? Because Arizona has only transient males today, who are probably Mexicanjaguars.
Were the jaguars of California to Florida a separate, now-extinct subspecies?
