That version of the table is already outdated, it was from last year when Me and @Balam were in the proccess of gathering many datas.

About the 70 kg range males not included its because back then @Balam and I haven't came across the 70 kg's males yet.

Lets remember that this table is an ongoing table that could be added new specimens at any time as soon as we here find new specimens regardless of low/high weights, we are also up to exclude specimens if necessary or needed.

As example I recall those specimens in the outdated version of the table you showed above in the yellow area sourced by Furtado, they were in yellow because back then we didn't know which region of Pantanal they were captured but then we found out they are from the south Pantanal region captured in the areas of Fazenda Barranco Alto (Aquidauana) and Fazenda Caiman (Miranda), Now as the table is updated those individuals are all added in the Blue area of the table (South Pantanal).

Again regardless of sizes we got the aim of gathering the best information so that's why we have the open minds to change it by adding or excluding specimens (in case new infos, datas or even corrections emerges) at anytime with no problems and not make the table as a Conclusive Untouched table. It can go through new updates or changes and for those interested in using this data these people gotta be aware of it and keep an eye on possible future updates. Also the biologists and experts we've shown this table to and who somehow contributed for the addition of new specimens added were informed that we got the aim to be always updating it to make it better and better not only for the Pantanal population table but on the other tables as well.

Anyways taking advantage of the moment as Pantanal and Porto Primavera are not the only areas to produce large jaguars in Brazil here's the updated table of another population of jaguars in Brazil that also produce large specimens other than Porto Primavera and Pantanal. The Cerrado Jaguars who not only overlap in size and dimensions with Pantanal and Porto Primavera specimens but we got a specimen from Cerrado I recently collected the measurements datas of (Xangô male) in this comparison although being lighter and shorter cat in length as in jaguars usually are, His circumference measures decently overlaps with some Siberian Tigresses and Lionesses as well. So don't sleep on the Cerrado jaguars.

More details on the Cerrado table and a few Cerrado specimens included in it as well as specimens from Amazon and Pantanal sourced by the same study of Mariana Malzoni Furtado, Check post #500 and 501# HERE.

And Again, just like the Pantanal table in case of new infos or new specimens from the Cerrado biome captured are found we can update it at anytime in order to make it better and better.

As an example we know about a Cerrado male jaguar captured in the Cerrado area of PNE (Parque Nacional das Emas), his name is Rogério but we didn't add him in the table because we don't know how much he weighed.

Rogério Cerrado male Jaguar when captured last year (images bellow), its a shame we don't know his size. But if it is to guess he looks to be an average sized Cerrado male jaguar, When captured he looked smaller than Richard and Tiago.
