Pantanal jaguar the biggest and strongest jaguar in the world


The Pantanal jaguar was proposed as the largest subspecies of jaguar, with the taxonomic name Panthera onca palustris , native to the Pantanal region of South America, besides Argentina, before later research failed to find evidence for different subspecies of jaguar. Besides Brazil, the Pantanal forms part of Bolivia and Paraguay, the namesake countries of "Panthera onca boliviensis" and "Panthera onca paraguensis".

Jaguars from the Pantanal Region are the largest of jaguars, with lengths of about 2.7 m (8.9 ft), average weights of about 100 kg (220 lb), and some individuals weighing more than 135 kg (298 lb).
