Quote:Funny thing is their true weights and skull measurements were posted by epaiva just a few posts above. At least do a little research.

The images and weights were provided via a "big game" page which has been discussed here prior. Some inaccuracies could very well be listed.

But not all of them are inaccurate 

mrs. tomas fernandez with a record jaguar ; skull 20 8/16-Correct 

milton meirelles shot this monster with a skull of 20 2/16-Correct

monster 127kg jaguar hunted by hector cuellar 279 pounds- Incorrect 118kg *No skull size measured, shown as 127kg*

knut bellinger with monster 257 pounder- Incorrect  actually 108kg not 116kg

330lb local with jaguar RECORD shot by ken vaughn- Inconclusive *No Weight Provided*


Now, I ask you how do you know each image is the corresponding Jaguar mentioned in the Book?
Do you have page references or are you assuming each belongs to that account?



Let's not be so quick to discredit some based off a few inaccuracies if they are inaccuracies... 

Quote:"record jaguar" with its head being held up which you've labelled as "330lb" was actually hunted by Dave Lauzen, it had a skull measuring 20 6/16 inches and was weighed at 112kg (246lb).

Page # or Image exist from Almeida's first book?

As has already been explained to you, those photos are from Tony Almeida’s books. 

The jaguar hunted by Ken Vaughn was not weighed – so the weight of 330lb would be incorrect not inconclusive – because it does not exist (do you need further clarification?). The guy (Almeida) who recorded all these jaguars did not weigh any jaguar close to that weight, nor did he believe they could reach that weight.

More importantly, the picture you posted with the label “330lb local with jaguar RECORD” is not of the jaguar hunted by Ken Vaughn in the first place (this is another mistake on your part). That picture is of the one hunted by Dave Lauzen as has already been explained to you. This jaguar weighed 112kg (246lb). It had the record skull at one point and that image of the guy holding its head was on the cover of Almeida’s 1976 book. It is also on the second page of that book, note the skull measurement 20 3/8 inches (that is the same as 20 6/16 just in case you need clarification on that).

Also the top photo with the 262lb weight and the one further down you’ve labelled as 288lb are photos of the same jaguar. The correct weight was 119kg (262lb), hunted by John Howell, this was the heaviest jaguar ever recorded by Almeida. Reply
