Size comparisons

[Pckts]

Quote:The video you've posted of the jaguar being weighed shows the same specimen we were talking about above. It was apparently weighed at 315lb (143kg) but then they said someone was holding the head so they added 5kg to account for that to get to 148kg. But they did not subtract for stomach content!

So you somehow decided to downgrade it based off a 5kg claim on holding a head and not deducting stomach content because he's "fat but not overly full"

I suggest you read what I wrote about how Pantanal Jags actually look all the time.


Now onto Marley, how do you think he compares to the Jaguar in this Video?

This is Balwin, one of the Males Larger than Adriano for Comparison. He fights and beats Marley bad here, you can also see the large size difference between the two.

Quote:He literally has his tail between his legs, a well known sign of fear/anxiety, the only time I've seen a male big cat show such hesitation in a fight. So I don't buy your whole idea of super intense competition among these jaguars, I'll stick with the science.

And in that video you posted, Marley had already beaten up that exact male a week earlier as well, he is submitting while trying to save face. He actually wasn't seen really after this. I also fail to see a Cat being Submissive to another some how reflecting a "lack in competition?"
Marley is an extremely impressive Cat, I've spoken about him here numerous times.
What makes him impressive?
1. He was born in the Meeting of the 3 rivers and he never left, never was kicked out.
2.He's small yet territory holding and has fought and won many fights and lost as well.
3.He's just about 4 years old, still young and able to fight off the bigger, stronger Jags most of the time and refuses to be pushed out.

So when it comes to "science" you might be better suited to listen to the Zoologist who's toured the Pantanal and Amazon all his life, and is one of 2 people in the entire Pantanal who keeps the up to date ID file on all the cats, Along with Paul Donahue instead of jumping to some conclusion based off a video you have no backstory on nor know what the entire encounter entailed.
