Probably they weigh some kg less, with females of 200-300 kg and males of up to 500 kg in the best case. However, a jaguar of 100 kg killing a bull of 300 kg is still impressive, even if the animal is domestic, I guess.

I leave you this video of some of the best cattle in Guatemala, although some specimens are from other countries of Central America, like Nicaragua. The specimens that I saw in El Adelanto (and other parts of the country) were not as large, with the exception of the large white bull that I mentioned before. I think that I have a picture of that male, I will try to search it for you. I remember than many years ago, I saw taller bulls than those in the video, maybe the next year I will go to one of those expositions to take pictures of those large animals.

I do remember the prey ratio for a tiger is 5:1 which means a 200 kg tiger can kill a 1000 kg buffalo as the absolute largest prey.

Do you have any scientific paper to sustain such claim? Reply
