There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Ok, keep that 99kg average. By looking at that table and comparing ''past and present'' I have a slight impression modern cerrado jaguars average size is larger than back in  2000-2004.

This phenomenon seems to be the case with multiple jaguar populations in Brazil which means that the conservational efforts are working greatly. I believe that Pantanal, Atlantic forest and Cerrado jaguars are still in the process of recovering their weight potential as newer generations are born into ecosystems with plenty of prey selection and abundance and better management and conservational protection. Trust me it's a matter of time before a 160 kg jaguar is captured in Pantanal.

Also, in terms of the Llanos, I've noticed that the pressure of jaguars in Venezuela is causing them to shrink in size, but in Colombia where there is more protection, the jaguars seem to be flourishing and growing huge as well. It's a shame there haven't been any captures yet but trust me when I say those jaguars will surprise us all, much like the ones from the dry forests of Bolivia.

Yeah these jaguars lived rough moments in the past. The 20th century was a nightmare for wild cats leading some of them directly to extinction and some others were left critically endangered, I believe if they launch conservation projects to the Llanos throughout the whole area with agreements of all parts with the countries involved, Llanos jaguars and envirorment in the area will thrive back again producing large sized animals with plenty of prey and territory for sure.

And don't forget to add Amazonic and Caatinga jags on that list too. They can impress us even if for a little bit.
