Comparison.

Zezão got a head 1.5 cm larger than Xangô's head but Xangô have a 2.5 cm thicker neck circumference as well as a 9 cm thicker thorax than Zezão but Zezão is much taller than Xangô which even measured over the curves Xangô measured 63 cm on the shoulders being 7 cm lower in height than Zezão, whereas Xangô over the curves is 6 cm longer on body length, Zezão is 5 cm longer on the tail length department with the result of Xangô over the curves being a 1 cm longer cat in total length than Zezão between the pegs meanwhile Zezão is the heavier cat by 6 kg over Xangô.

Conclusion.

Zezão in comparison is heavier and a rather tall male also besting Xangô on the department IMO jaguars shines the most (Head Girth Size) Zezão takes this with a bigger head ( which looks to be even bigger than its actual measure) meanwhile Xangô is the typical low to the ground, stocky and broad male with a very low height, However, what Xangô lacks in height he compensates on what jags do best which is being broad, thick, wide and bulky.
