Great information of venezuelan jaguar. So los llanos jaguar can reach 150 kg just like male Pantanal jaguar. What is the main prey of jaguars in llanos?

How about other jaguars are in different areas of Venezuela? 
Do you know any information of any jaguars living in the Orinoco Delta, Parque Nacional Canaima, and near Mount Roraima?
The jaguars use habitats near water, but they can also live in variety of habitats. It might be possible that they were once lived in desert area in South America like lencois.

Tepui like in Venezuela and Cape Town, South Africa are very interesting. These ares have a unique nature and biodiversity. I am curious jaguars are in many places of Americas. There is a genus of frog name Tepuihyla and these frog is only living in top of mount Roraima.

Jaguars living in the Orinoco Delta  in Parque Nacional Canaima and near Mount Roraima are much smaller than the ones you find in Los Llanos they rarely weight over 70 kgs, the ones you find in los Llanos are the largest of them all here in Venezuela, the ones you find in the Jungles are the smaller ones.
In the good old times when you found many Jaguars you could find a few giants 140 kg or more but right now it is very difficult to find a Jaguar 120 kg or more, Los Llanos de Venezuela are a lot like the Pantanal in Brazil but a lot smaller but here many people kill Jaguars if they find them so the numbers are very low, in Pantanal many people go and pay to see them alive and many big Ranches obtain a lot of money from Ecotourism and a large number of Jaguars are doing great in el Pantanal.
