They also clarified with me that the jaguar fighting Juru is this video is actually Balam, and Balam is thought to be relatively young at 4 years of age

Balam is probably a bit older than 4 because when I saw him last year he definitely looked at least 4, if not older and when he beat up Marley/Juru a year prior to that he definitely was an adult. He's a huge Jaguar as well,. Paulo said Balam is larger than Adriano. Paul Donahue is the main person in charge of the Jaguar ID project along with Paulo Barreiros.

Yes Balam is big, and he and Tusk have gotten even stockier this year, although talking to them I got the impression that Edno was even bigger than those two. It's also interesting that Edno was defeated by Adriano before, I wonder if he was the one who dethroned Adriano from the area. Getting their weights would be amazing, but they told me that due to the pandemic almost all work is paralyzed and they're relying on locals go provide pictures and informed from them.

By all accounts, Edno is massive! But in the north it's almost impossible to know who's responsible for kicking another male out unless its witnessed due to the fact that there are so many massive, territory holding males in the area.


They have been crushed by the Pandemic and tourism will continue to suffer for quite some time. A sad note, the boat-hotel I stayed on was owned by an indivdual who died from Covid. Any loss of life is sad but especially so when it's someone who contributes to the eco tourism needed to protect these cats and the Pantanal in general. Reply
