As @Pckts already showed to you, that card was badly played by you. I use the pumas from Canada and USA, those are big monsters that surpass any puma population in the world, they prey in large elk deers and many large prey, but they still don't weight even close to the big jaguars. So, whatever you are trying to prove, pumas had a limit, and even when they are very powerfull they can't reach the size and strength of the jaguar, not even close.

Sorry, but pumas are not equal to the jaguar, even at the same size, they are not at the same weight, and when they are (Florida vs Belice) the puma had the adventage in prey base. Dwarf jaguars against regular sized pumas, not a fair comparison; biggest pumas are still smaller than the biggest jaguars. At the end, where is the debate? It not even existed.

The US and canada? Hey those are pretty large countries maybe specify where! Nowhere in the US or canada do pumas have a prey base as large as pantanal jags AND no competition. 

Florida panthers are eating raccoons and whitetail deer.

Belizean jaguars are dwarfs? What makes them dwarfs? What youre not understanding here is that pantanal jaguars have abnormally large weights.

Read this screenshot please. This is mean mass of jaguar prey. Belize is the same as mexico (5.4kg and 5.6kg) which are both similar to peru (10.7kg). These are the same as mean weights of puma prey in florida and california. Now look at the brazil samples. 34.3kg without domestic prey and 113kg with domestic prey. So now tell me do you think its right that we call these jaguars dwarfs? For puma populations in north america that have really large males, their mean prey weight is the same as these floodplain samples without the domestic stock.
