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.

A few days back looking amazing as usual. My favorite jaguar from Porto Jofre.

The photographer of this photo said this to me:
"Xingu gave the impression of being the same size but fatter than Edno when I photographed him last year, and I believe it is much younger too. He looked very good, healthy. As for Balam, I wouldn't know what to say."
So he's the second person to tell me Xingu is comparable in size to Edno, the other one being Abigail Martin, and the other photographer I asked recently compared him directly to Balam. These people have a better idea of how large a jaguar is considering they see multiple and know what the size ranges are like. He also tagged two other guides to get their opinions so I'll update when they do.
Xingu being so young could possibly be one of the largest males in that area already and he could even surpass Edno in size in a few years or less which is crazy. Uka's genes did wonders on him but I wonder who was his father, maybe Hero? Uka did mate with him once and could've possibly done it again, she also mated with Mick.
