Jaguar Being weighed

Nearly all of the weights you've listed are wrong for those jaguars. Why has no one corrected this here?

Those photos are all of jaguars hunted by the clients of Tony Almeida which are provided in his book, Jaguar Hunting in the Mato Grosso. None of those jaguars were weighed at over 119kg (262lbs).

Funny thing is their true weights and skull measurements were posted by epaiva just a few posts above. At least do a little research.

Once again here are the skull measurements and weights of all those jaguars in the photos you've posted as well as all other males recorded by Tony Alemida. Rather than wasting my time going one by one and correcting all the errors, I'll just point out that the "record jaguar" with its head being held up which you've labelled as "330lb" was actually hunted by Dave Lauzen, it had a skull measuring 20 6/16 inches and was weighed at 112kg (246lb). It had the record skull at the time Almeida's first book was published in 1976 but later he recorded 3 bigger skulls. The scans below are from his 1989 book.

Hundreds of threads, limited time and no-one can know everything about everything makes it possible that some inaccurate information gets through. When something incorrect is noticed, anyone is free to point out what is wrong and give reasoning or proof. Goal is to have here good information, which can be backed up.

I am not at all surprised, that time to time errors happen, I would be surprised only if no mistakes ever. But when someone notices something, feel free to point it out in good spirit. If some wrong information is posted on purpose, that is one thing. But when it happens by accident, it is just human.

But very good to get accurate information and reasoning to back it up. Keep up good postings, but also remember that we all make sometimes mistakes :) Reply
