[Dark Jaguar]

@OncaAtrox

Yeah thats how they are build and regardless of the size it could be an adult of 37kg or 140kg they will still keep their stocky build and those massive jaw cheek muscles, thats in their DNA, their morphology, thats what they're build for and I love those small Caatinga jaguars.

Regarding the Cerrado jaguar reaching Pantanal jaguar sizes, those sizes is actually how big they really are and don't forget the unknown 118kg cerrado male jaguar that was captured as well a while back mentioned in a conversation with Gediendson, they're just recovering little by little from mass poaching in cerrado from the past, don't forget they also predate on cattles as well. and as I already mentioned you cerrado jaguars from PNE prefer to stay in areas near ranching areas in the sorrounding borders of the Emas ( Rheas ) National Park, Cerrado jaguars natural preys consists of both species of pecaries with their mean size being of 30-40kg, giant anteater, tapir (300+ kg), in small portions there will be armadillos, deers, monteiro pig, cutias and others.  

These big sizes aren't that big of a deal, In Brazil there's a few areas where some individuals of large male Atlantic forest jaguars will reach and slightly surpass the 100kg range for example in Morro do Diabo in Brazil and Parque Estadual das Varzeas do Rio Ivinhema ( this place got massive Tapirs ) also in Brazil some individuals will reach 100kg and there's a table where Atlantic Forest Jaguars from Parque Nacional do Iguaçú the average size for males are of 85.8kg sourced by Peter Crawshaw in 1995.

In Brazil Atlantic forest jaguars are definitely the third largest population after Cerrado and Pantanal.

check the table bellow of average sizes only for males IOP showed to compare with 87.5kg average cerrado jaguar back in 2000-2004.

NOTE: the cerrado jaguars says ''presente estudo'' meaning they're still studying cerrado jaguars when IOP showed this table as a comparison on their study in 2004. so possibly there could be a new modern study launched for cerrado jags average weight which is what we're expecting to be near 100kg or 100kg. I still have hopes haha.

Anyways what do you think of the caatinga jaguars from the unique Serra da Capivara being 20% of melanistic jaguars?? Reply
