Do you know many good information of jaguar in Los Llanos? The Los Llanos jaguar is one of the largest jaguar along with the Pantanal jaguar. I don't know which one is the largest.

I personally believe Texas jaguar in 1800 could have been large and massive as the Pantanal jaguar and Los llanos jaguar due to prey and temperature of Texas.

I heard Venezeula is very dangerous place these days. I am curious what would happen to jaguar in venezeula.

@Greatearth

Pantanal Jaguars are the largest of them all, the next larger Jaguars are in the Venezuelan Llanos. It is very hard to spot them in the wild like you do in Pantanal because when ever they see people coming near them they go away, normally in other parts of the world including the Pantanal is a lot more difficult to spot Pumas than Jaguars I have seen Pumas 3 times in the Venezuelan llanos, I have been in places where Jaguars live but have not seen even one in many trips to los Llanos.  People hunted them a lot before  but they are still out there in many ranches because they know how to keep away from people. 
You are right my Friend saddly Venezuela is very dangerous this days, that is the reason I did not go out to see wild animals in los llanos this 2017 and last year. If you need any information about the size of Jaguars from los Llanos let me know I have good information of them. Here in Venezuela the best place to find and see them if you are lucky is a big ranch named Hato Pinero it is more than 600 square kilometers it has about 30 Jaguars where they are protected and many people from other parts of the world come here, it is located in Estado Cojedes 5 hours from Caracas by car. You can see that ranch http://www.hatopinero.com Reply
