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.

Can you please show me those weights of over 90 kg? The only weights that I have from Mesoamerica are those from Belize and none surpased the 70 kg. As far I know, no other jaguars hed been weighed in this region (Chiapas-Yucatan, Guatemala and Honduras [sadly, extinct in El Salvador]).

Some males have been registered to wander in the 80 kg range in Central America

And this is the information I have for jaguars that surpass the 90 kg threshold in Mexico, those measurements are different nowadays that jaguars have had such a fragmented habitat with less prey and hunting pressure.
