I believe this thread is ideal for posting old/current photos and reports of jaguars in the Pantanal, or should I use another one?

This is the correct thread!

You should also look into the current males in the area. Every so often they get replaced and very physically imposing individuals show up. Here's a collage of a recent sighting of Inka, he was first seen in 2019 and has remained in the area since. I think this new generation of Jofre males has better morphological fitness than previous ones. It's a shame we'll never know their exact weight.

It may not seem like it but Inka is actually very tall, he just carries so much mass around his torso which hangs low on his body giving the impression of short limbs, he must be exceptional in weight. Here he is next to Ti female from last September. Ti is the littermate of Juru, born in 2015, therefore a mature female of 8 years of age. Based on the data I've gathered she would most likely be in the 75-80+ kg weight class if we are conservative, Inka looks twice as big as her:
