Size comparisons

These pieces of footage are from 2021. Here we see one of the dominant males at Refúgio da Ilha (Pança) compared to different prey species who passed on the same trail areas as him:

We've yet to get information on the weights of male jaguars from this protected area as Onçafari, to my knowledge, hasn't resumed captures just yet. Two captured females weighed 82 and 84 kg respectively, the only jaguars captured there so far.

Here's Kim (84 kg) and a resident male I call "Half Tail" (his official name has not been published) on the same trail. The male is much taller and it would not surprise me if he surpassed the 80 cm shoulder height threshold withe ease, whilst Kim is an above-average sized female herself:

Other huge males from the area would include Kinati, Camelote, and Encontro.

@Ngonya @Mapokser Refúgio da Ilha is an intermediate area between the Pantanal and Cerrado in Mato Grosso do Sul, great for safaris. Let me know if you want to see more about the jaguars from this area. Reply
