I was in contact with the fantastic brazilian project ''Onças do Iguaçú'' and they kindly provided me the weight of Tarobá atlantic forest male.

Lask week his collar fell off his neck and Onças do Iguaçú team had to collect it in the Atlantic Forest wilderness they were very worried and concerned on the possibility of Tarobá being poached, but it turned out only the collar was found thank God and he is fine, I assume it was possibly due to musculature growth ''girth'' of his neck.



For a comparison Tarobá is 8 kilos larger than Croissant atlantic forest male 73kg, Croissant is another atlantic forest male captured and monitored by Onças do Iguaçú project as well.
