To access the data compilation on recent jaguar weights for multiple populations please refer to the tabs below on this spreadsheet which I shared with you before. There you will find the compilation for Amazonian jaguars and other ecotypes. These data are updated consistently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...zD8SM/edit

Keep in mind that we only have data on jaguars in the region of Mamiraua where jaguars are dwarfed due to small prey availability, therefore it is not indicative of the Amazon as a whole where jaguar sizes vary greatly depending on numerous factors.

We also have these data from Hoogesteijn and Mondolfi (1996) which covered areas of the Amazon around the peripheries of the rainforest where jaguars tend to be larger than those from the interior, the average was 84 kg but no range was provided. I know one male from the Venezuelan Amazon mentioned by Dr. Hoogesteijn in his book "El Tigre Americano" weighed 98 kg, this is probably the highest value we have so far recorded for a jaguar from the Amazon.
