Adrian weighed 130kg, not 158kg 
The largest weighed by Panthera was 148kg like Rafeal said as well.

Normal males in the Pantanal weigh 100kgs+ and normal females weigh 80kgs plus.

That makes sense about Adrian since Paulo said quite a few males he's seen are larger than he.

Its safe to say anything over 150kg for a Pantanal Jaguar should be in the same category as a 280kg Lion or Tiger or 100kg Leopard.

Thanks to Fernando Tortato, Rafeal and Epaiva.

That was interesting. So Cat Specialist Group had then right weight range on their site. And panthera.org has had maybe typo or misunderstanding happened with their site, because they have that 158 kg as upper limit. Still around 150 kg weight is huge for a jaguar. And when your guide said, that he has seen many males larger than Adrian, it is quite safe to think, that those jaguars most probably are around 140-150 kg. Smaller differences would be quite impossible to notice easily by just watching animals. Reply
