It’d be nice to see some Pantanal Jags skull measurements including CBL to see how they correlate.

Here is what I found, real measurements that can be useful for comparisons:

* Nelson & Goldman (1933):

They also report the biggest jaguar that I have read about, measured in the flesh. Sadly I don't know if it was "between pegs" or "over curves", but I think it was in the first form.

All the table from his document, from several populations, including some from Guatemala!   There are more details in the paper.

And finally, Seymour (1989):

He mixed males and females, but the important thing is that he did measuread one skull of  which was a big one.

Maybe other posters had more records, but these are the ones that I have, from scientific papers. Reply
