There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Hopefully now we can move past that and start to appreciate these amazing Jaguars for what they are and that is a very unique species. Just like Lions in Ngorongoro Crater and Okavango Delta or Tigers in Kaziranga and Terai arc or Leopards in certain parts of Africa and Asia to name a few.
I agree.
Which is why I find Central African leopards so fascinating; they're the equivalent of Pantanal jaguars in my opinion.
Heh, it was coming, wasn´t it? But yes, you have some good points why to think so, but it has seemed to be less clear overall situation than it is, when we compare for instance Pantanal jaguars to some other population if we exclude Llanos. Have you got yet anything more from that person... was the name Jo, from panthera.org? it would be really interesting if she has something more to say, you got one reply from her in the past, wasn´t it so?
Yes, I got in touch with her thanks to the mods of Zooniverse. I could PM her again but I'm gonna have to ask something serious then.
Didn´t she tell, that she would discuss with others about sizes of rainforest leopards with others, colleagues? It would be interesting to hear if they have had discussions and what kind of estimations maybe? And if there are, have they compared to other leopard populations? Maybe we wouldn´t get 100% certainty, but thoughts of biologists and zoologists are always interesting.
