It’d be nice to see some Pantanal Jags skull measurements including CBL to see how they correlate.

Here is what I found, real measurements that can be useful for comparisons:

* Nelson & Goldman (1933):

They also report the biggest jaguar that I have read about, measured in the flesh. Sadly I don't know if it was "between pegs" or "over curves", but I think it was in the first form.

* Pocock (1939):

All the table from his document, from several populations, including some from Guatemala!   There are more details in the paper.

And finally, Seymour (1989):

He mixed males and females, but the important thing is that he did measuread one skull of  which was a big one.

Maybe other posters had more records, but these are the ones that I have, from scientific papers.

Great info, I’ll review next week when I’m back in front of a large screen but it looks as though you have a couple of 20”ers.
A shame there’s not many Panatanal Jags but great info still.

In regards to the record Jaguar, do you know it’s body dimensions?
We can compare it to Joker or quite a few other Jags and see how it stacks up. Reply
