While I haven't been able to find the original footage from that time the same male did get captured and was shown on a recent report, he's from Taiamã. The female in this video is also big, she's easily 80+ kg but he dwarfs her nonetheless:

Nice find, when you said ''he did get captured'' do you mean he got really captured or captured by images ?? cause I am more than curious now if this male was captured by CENAP/ICMBio and in which capture campaign.

Its good to see him again.

Oops I meant captured on video, had he been physically captured I would've ran to share his weight information lol.

Anyways, I'm extremely surprised in seeing how big some of this Cáceres specimens can get although the data that we have shows more modest sized animals, perhaps the really big males like the ones from that video have yet to be captured. In any case this is a good indicator of the overall good health of the ecosystem and that's what's important. 

From the Sandro's killing something positive came about, Richard Rasmussen has been collecting money to supply Reprocon with more collars to capture more jaguars, Leandro Silveira has already donated some to them. They see the importance of collating as many Jaguars as possible to track them since the data collected allows us to monitor them and protect them better. So expect more captures from Passo do Lontra in the near future, and of course more captures at Da Ilha, I know Pança will be captured sooner than later (I spoke with someone involved in Da Ilha and he's just as excited at prospect of capturing him) and I'm starting to think he's on the same size tier as Edno so I'm mentally preparing myself to get the news a newly potentially record-breaking jaguar. 

I hope the Onçafari team has learned from the experience with Joker and more people will be present during Pança's capture to successfully lift him up entirely and get his full weight, they might need to start using similar processes to the ones used to weigh tigers and lions for those really large males. With Onçafari and Reprocon actively doing captures our database will grow even more, hopefully Panthera will eventually join as well.

Ok, but what I meant is if you were aware if he was captured but didn't know his weight just like the case you were informed that Noca and Jagua were captured but at same time you don't know their weights.

The entire Reprocon case I saw that on TV here, IOP donated 1 collar for Reprocon to capture Pantanal jaguars thats interesting, but I also would like to see IOP continue to capture Cerrado Jaguars as well, looks like they stopped it and are only focusing on the sanctuary, despite not getting their weights at least we know their movements dynamics and after getting Xangô's amazing dimensions which Girth size overlaps quite decently with a few Siberian Tigresses the Cerrado jaguars have excited me way even mooore than before, but what I really hope is another institute like Biotrópicos to start capturing Cerrado jags, I wanna know about their sizes on a much larger database which will be very difficult, there's also Lua Cerrado female captured by Onçafari we don't know her weight, I wanna know if she'll be recaptured.

About Pança if he is captured try to get his measurements with this person you in contact with in case this person is part of the team, Refúgio da Ilha got some nice other jags as well like Sancho, Neo, Vulverine... any of them captured would be nice to see in that area.

With the bad experiences of not lifting up properly big jaguars to weight them in my opinion the first tool to get first (For Any Institute that capture Pantanal Jaguars) would be getting a Tapir weighing machine scale, with such a weighing scale there wouldn't be surprises of ''breaking the scale'' or something since we're talking about the scale of the largest land mammal in Brazil.
