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.

Short faced bear vs Megalosaurus, average vs average (FMNH PM 24880 vs NHMUK 31308).
Short faced bear is scaled to 150 cm SH while Megalosaurus is 80 cm skull length - both should weigh about the same. Scalebar is 70 cm.
Credit to the Alaska government website for the bear and GetAwayTrike for the Megalosaurus.

3 are from East Africa, 2 are Persian (the most beautifull specimens I've ever seen with nice elongated body). I don't know the origin of the 3 jaguars, most probably from Brazil. Again jaguars are 1,5-2 times more massive, I have seen them hundred times. I don't talk so much about linear size - length or height but about immense, almost bear-like robustness of the jaguars. Look how jaguar is walking, almost like a bear, for sure not gracious like other cats. In same linear dimentions of jaguar you could place 1,5 leopards, which are much more slender.

Pantanal is famous as place where big jaguars could be easily spotted. But I dont think that jaguars from other parts of Brazil are much smaller. Amazon rain forest in Brazil and surrounding countries comprise 90% of jaguars in the world and they all are more or less big, not far in size to Pantanals jaguars. True, jaguars from South Mexico are much smaller and have a size of leopards, but their number is insignificant in comparison with jaguars from the endless Amazon forest and they are not representative for the specie. If we get the smallest leopard subspecie - Arabian they are definetily smaller than southern Mexican jaguars, with females Arabian leopards having average body mass of 20 kg... and some of them even 15 kg...

The size of Amazon:

So, lets not turn upsite down a fact that everybody should know from the school - that jaguar is by far the third largest cat in the world.

This is an old post but I have to say your explanation is on point. May I ask, do you know the weights from the jaguars in the zoo? If their coloration is black or dark then they wouldn't be Pantanal animals as melanism is not present on them. Most jaguars from N American zoos have mixed genes from Central (including Mexico) and South America from regions such as the Amazon.

Always appreciate the comparisons but a comment on this one. Statistically, the lower sizes comparison is inaccurate. We have more T. rex specimens on hand, as such, we'll have representation of the lowest percentiles. We have two(?) G. carolinii so by probability both these specimens would fall closer to the 50th percentile. As such, here a T. rex from say the 10th percentile is being compared with a G. carolinii of the 50th percentile and therefore the lower sizes are not truly being compared. It'd probably be better to depict the comparison between the average sized T. rex.

90 kg 3-year-old jaguar Inca going for a walk. Unlike other cats of similar weight, jaguar bodies are thick and barrel-shaped with wide chests. They're not as gracious when walking but more imposing, almost bear-like:

You may have a point; that, I will keep in mind. MOR 555 works well for that.
