Short note: Black jaguars in Guatemala
Somewhere I read that black jaguars do not exist in Central America, only in South America. However I found an article showing a captive black jaguar from Belize and that was good for me, for the moment. Now, in my last trip to the "Zoologico La Aurora" from Guatemala, I took pictures of the black jaguar housed in the park:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author I can tell you that this jaguar is a large one, it looks like if is no less than 150 cm in head body and very muscular, but is just my apreciation. I also saw a little documentary about the department of Petén in the north of Guatemala, and they filmed a wild black jaguar. So there is enough evidence to prove that black jaguars do exist in the north of Guatemala and Belize, and probably also in the Calakmul region of Mexico, as these three regions are colindant to each other.

The biggest jaguar weighed in Belize was of only 62.1 kg and the longest male measured 147 cm in head-body. I have saw some pictures from jaguars in the north of Guatemala and they look slightly larger than those from Belize, but probably are of the same size. So a jaguar of about 150 cm in head-body is very large for a jaguar in this country, probably reached just by captive specimens.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Measurements of Male Jaguars from Belize (Central America) Book Jaguar - Alan Rabinowitz- Adult male: head and body length excluding the tail 127 cent, length of the tail 51 cent, Height at the shoulders 46 cent, weight 57 kgs. - Adult male: head and body length excluding the tail 130 cent, length of the tail 53 cent, Height at the shoulders 58 cent, weight 50 kgs. - Adult male: head and body length excluding the tail 147 cent, length of the tail 53 cent, Height at the shoulders 53 cent, weight 53 kgs. - Adult male young: head and body length excluding the tail 130 cent, length of the tail 53 cent, Height at the shoulders 43 cent, weight 39 kgs. - Adult male: head and body length excluding the tail 122 cent, length of the tail 61 cent, Height at the shoulders 46 cent, weight 62 kgs. - Adult male: head and body length excluding the tail 142 cent, length of the tail 61 cent, Height at the shoulders 58 cent, weight 57 kgs. - Sub adult male: head and body length excluding the tail 122 cent, length of the tail 51 cent, Height at the shoulders 51 cent, weight 36 kgs.
Good post @epaiva, in fact those are the measurements from the jaguars captures in Belize by the late Dr Alan Rabinowitz.
Interesting the heaviest male (62.1 kg) was killed by a police man which hit him with his car.  It is sad that almost all the jaguars of the study died at the end, except from the young adult "Xaman Ek", which signal was lost and his final fate is unknown. This is the male "Ek Chuah", the picture in color is from another book:  *This image is copyright of its original author This is the longest jaguar captures in the Central America region, with a total length of 2032 mm. These are the measurements that I used for my comparative image of the jaguar, Waveriders complained about the shoulder height (too short), but as you corroborated here, those are the figures that Dr Rabinowitz presented.

Do you know of one larger than this one in el Pantanal?

Regarding documents, the longest jaguar skull that I remeber is one reported by De Almeida that measured 323.9 mm in greatest length and 201.6 mm wide. |
