I believe the reason why they felt so comfortable on each other's presence, relatively speaking, is because due to the high density of jaguars in the Pantanal and large availability of prey, they have learned to be more tolerant of each other as there are enough resources for everyone to share. I think this also may be why we don't really see that many serious and brutal altercations between jaguars from this region.

The male that was rowling was just really big and dwarfed the one other male and the female. The smaller male was still bigger than the female so I don't think it was her cub.

Here it is Zoomed in, caption says they were fighting for territory:

I haven't been able to ID the jaguars in the clip but I have a feeling that the larger male is the same jaguar from this popular video:

I couldn't see the other male clearly, its definitely 2 males and the small one is the female. 

In regards to Jaguars in the Pantanal, they certainly aren't territorial aggressive in the same way that other big cats are and that is most likely because territories are always changing in the Pantanal. Sandbars that are there one season are gone the next after the floods. But when it comes to breeding rights Jaguars are very aggressive and since the density is so high they often have aggressive encounters. This is shown in how many scarred up dominate males there are.
