"Meet Adriano. He weighs in at a whopping 158kg of beautiful male jaguar. I was fortunate to see him on a few occasions on this trip, and each time he was relaxed and posed so nicely for us."

The jaguar is the largest cat in the Americas and is the only living representative of the genus Panthera found in the New World. The largest jaguars have been found in the Brazilian Pantanal region, with a record weight of over 347 pounds (158kg).  Jaguars living in heavily forested areas are considerably smaller than those from populations in more open areas like the Pantanal of

Brazil and the Llanos of Venezuela.  In one study, the average weight of males was 220 pounds (100kg).  Head and body length, without the tail may be up to six feet (1.85m), and the tail can measure 30 inches (75cm) more.  Height at the shoulder may be up to 30 inches (75cm).  The jaguar’s coat color ranges from pale yellow to reddish brown, with a much paler (often white) underbelly.  It has spots on the neck, body and limbs that form rosettes, which contain black markings within them.  On the head and underparts, the spots are simple black dots. Black jaguars are not uncommon, and even they possess darker rosette markings that are visible in bright light. Compared to a leopard, the jaguar is stocky and more powerfully built. The square jaw and prominent cheeks, along with robust, muscular limbs give evidence of immense strength. It has been said that the jaguar is built for power, not speed. While true, this cat also demonstrates surprising stealth and grace in movement.

Is this weight actually confirmed, or published? If that is the case this is the new record for the heaviest jaguar captured by scientists and are great news!!!!

Jaguars in that area, aparently, are larger because they prey on the feral cattle, reflecting the old days when jaguars had larger prey to hunt. In most of its habitat, the main prey are pecaries that weigh 20-50 kg more or less and the tapir big in so low densities that are a rare prey species for jaguars.
