Size comparisons

[Pckts]

Considering I already posted a video of a empty Jaguar caught by snare weighing 142kgs I'd say that's wrong already. 

Panthera only caught cat's on their property which is about 5 miles or so away from where you find all the Jags in the main meeting of 3 rivers, they also only caught on dry land never capturing any in the river areas which is definitely a good thing but I'd almost guarantee that once they become dominate in the 3 rivers area they must put on more weight since the prey densisty is so great.

I think trying to make some sort of rule that Jaguars or any Big cats only get as big as the minimal ones captured is pointless. 
Seeing a Male is rare, capturing one is even rarer let alone capturing ones which would be the biggest ever recorded.
For instance, you have 10 or so Jaguars in the Pantanal that are habituated to man but you have over 65 individuals at least just in that meeting of the water park and off of those small numbers of habituated cats you already have a few larger than Adriano. 

Last is that Jaguars in the Pantanal never look empty like Lions and Tigers, you'll see Marley when I post photos and he was the thinnest Jaguar I saw and he still was fully loaded.
Hunting is too easy there and it's also why it's probably the easiest place on earth to witness hunts. 
I had never seen a lion or tiger or leopard on the hunt or actually mating, in the Pantanal I saw all of the above. 
Marlon Dutoit who has been there for 1 day has already seen hunts from 3 different cats. 


You'll never get bored there, action is around every corner. Reply
