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.

This photo is from La Milpa in Rio Bravo Conservation Area, Belize.

Very interesting, specially if we take in count that in Belize, male jaguars weigh between 49.9 - 64.4 kg (the smallest population with a relative large sample). The puma probably weighed a little less, Starker Leopold said that male pumas in Mexico weigh between 45 - 73 kg, but he don't mention the area (north or south of the country). Sunquist & Sunquist (2002) mention that pumas in Peru are the smaller weighing only between 28 - 30 kg. Sadly I don't have data from Belize, so we can only speculate in base of the available information.
