The jaguars of the PNI were captured using a system of box traps and chickens as bait. The traps were checked every day between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m. The captured animals were immobilized with a combination of tilamine-zolazepam (Zoletil 50®,Virbac, São Paulo, Brazil), containing 125 mg of tiletamine and 125 mg of zo-lazepam. Body weight was estimated to calculate the dose of the drug during capture. A CO2 gun (Capchur®, Palmer Chemical and Equipment CO., Georgia, USA) was used to shoot 5 ml darts, with a 20×2 mm barrel harpoon

All the jaguars showed good health and physical integrity at the time they were captured. Considering the abdominal distension, all jaguars had fed at least 24 hours before their capture, with one female pregnant in the third gestation period and another accompanied by a male. Three males were electro-ejaculated for semen collection and the behaviour of all animals at the time of capture varied from calm and alert to excited and aggressive. With the exception of the pair that were together and a female with her cub, all jaguars were captured alone.

Do they mention which ones are from the Pantanal?

I didn't see it, the only thing I know is that Peter Crawshaw was involved on these captures and the 130kg male is from Porto Primavera the largest male he ever captured, and I think the 76kg female is the Atlantic Forest one, yes she's massive and also aggressive with the longest canines he's ever seen on jaguars, he had to fend off her charging on barehands and almost died, you'll know this case soon.
