I also agree with you that Edno was trying to be relatively delicate with the female as he probably wanted to mate, my guess is that if there would have been a larger and more threatening male (i.e. Balam), both of them would've had a more tenacious battle. Nonetheless, kudos to the female for standing up and eventually making Edno lose interest in pursuing her.

2-1 situation alone can be confusing and a bit intimidating for solitary cat used to fight only 1-1 what comes to own species. When neither of the siblings didn´t back off and flee, Edno had to be all the time careful with both. Lions are after all only big cats used to fight against multiple opponents and still only in rare cases some lions have made a move against more than one opponent simultaneously, when facing own species. This kind of situation can be speculated in many ways, but this isn´t something what jaguars are used to. It can be, that Edno was quite surprised when both jaguars held their ground when he approached and both aggressive towards him. Reply
