Size comparisons

[Pckts]

This is the Southern pantanal, not the north where the largest Jaguar population, sizes and prey density occurs.

Venezuala Jags

Notice the study her took place in Paraguay, again not nearly the jaguar or prey density compared to the meeting of the rivers park in northern pantanal, Brazil which is of course where the largest Jaguars live, hence Adriano being 158kg and not even the largest cat. 

Fonseco isn't qualified to make that claim. Rafeal, Peter Croshaw *sp*, Paulo and Fernando Torta will all say the same. 
You seem to be denying the fact that no Jaguar has ever exceeded 158kg mark from the pantanal which immediately proves Fonseco wrong.
Let alone this

And all the other hunting weights I've posted which have surpassed 140kg as well.

Again, there is no debate. Nothing in Los Llanos will contribute to a larger cat than Jaguars in the Pantanal. They certainly have overlapped with southern and other parts of the pantanal but in northern pantanal, brazil in the meeting of the water park *where 3 rivers meet* and the caiman density is highest along with the jaguar density the sizes are unmatched.
At this time, maybe when Venezuela didnt have human pressure they could of been their equals.
Skull size has also been matched and surpassed as well

And these were from all over Mato Grasso and Paraguay river, none from the 70km hub of the meetings of the 3 rivers where the largest Jags and best prey base live.



This isn't a new debate and @epaiva has already explained the same thing I am doing but much earlier on.

Last is your comment about Sri Lankan leopards, I'm curious, are you comparing the hunting history of Jaguars and Caiman to Sri Lankan Leopards? Reply
