Adriano is 85 cm at the shoulder which is much for a Jaguar since they are known for having short limbs. 
By the way, is a jaguar able to reach 90 cms at the shoulder in your opinion?

First Keep in mind Adriano was measured over the curves ( he is shorter at shoulder than those 85 cm ).

The tallest jaguar captured by Peter Crawshaw from my books is Zezão male at 80 cm shoulder height (straight lines).

The average shoulder height (straight lines) of 29 males by Almeida was 74.4 cm.

Tallest jaguar by Almeida at shoulder out of all jaguars he measured was 82.2 cm (straight lines).

Now if we get as an example 2 big males measured over the curves at shoulder such as Shaka and Joker, Shaka at 78 cm and Joker at 76 cm knowing they're slightly shorter if they were measured on straight lines. We'll certainly need more samples from other populations (on straight lines) to reach a Decisive conclusion but I'd assume a 90 cm Jaguar at shoulder would be an exceptional height if measured on straight lines (the right way).

And I haven't seen any yet even by measured over the curves with such a height at shoulders (90 cm). Reply
