Size comparisons

[Pckts]

@Luipaard
That's incorrect, the Pantanal absolutely has the largest Jags on Earth.
The weights are unmatched, infact when I mentioned Los Llanos to Paulo he said no way are they the same size.
Considering Pantanal Jags hold the records for weights and skull size, I'd say he's right.

In fact, Pantanal Jags have only been getting larger and there's actually a reason for it.
30 years ago Caiman we're extremely endangered here and since being protected their numbers have skyrocketed which is why you now see them everywhere .
That has also directly correlated with a massive increase in Jag numbers here, just in the area I am, they have 65 confirmed different adult individual Jags, out of the 65 you have 10 or so habituated to man and they are finding new individuals every season. Sub Adult males are rarely seen here again once they leave, the reason is that the Jaguar competition is so high that they are pushed out usually not seen back here again, most of the big males here actually didnt even start in this area, they came here from other parts of the Pantanal and are usually unknown to Paulo and Paul. There is one exception to that rule and his name is Marley, I'll tell you guys about him and the others I saw when I get back to the states and can post images.
Also,
The Pantanal is much larger than Los Llanos with a much higher prey density and far better protection.
You have Jaguars like Adriano who weighed 158kg *confirmed* and he's not even the largest Male here, there quite a few who are larger than him and of course there is no Jag anywhere else on earth that have reached that size, past or present. Reply
