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.

In fact, the jaguars from Central America are small, just like an average leopard. The biggest jaguar weighed in Belize was of only 62.1 kg and the longest male measured 147 cm in head-body.
I have saw some pictures from jaguars in the north of Guatemala and they look slightly larger than those from Belize, but probably are of the same size. So a jaguar of about 150 cm in head-body is very large for a jaguar in this country, probably reached just by captive specimens.
