About Fady D. Isho
Expertise
I can answer any questions dealing with any factor of interspecies conflcit, this being fighting styles, weaponry, "..." vs "...", animal interaction, food chians, food webs, etc... I can also answer questions regarding mammals, and reptiles. Most particulary those of canines, hyenas, felines, ursids, crocodilians and constrictor and as well as venomous snakes. Although ridiculous questions will not be replied to. Among these animals, these are the ones I can help with the most: Anatomy/physiology Behavior; territorial, mating, hunting, and diet Conservation

Experience
To date, I'm still finishing up high school. Although, I've had experience with animals both in and outside of the field. I've also read about animals (wild) most of my life.

Subject: jaguar

Question
hello, i would like to ask you what is the biggest animal you think a jaguar can kill, and how much does jaguar weight on average? why don't i have a problem in seeing a jaguar kill every animal if the jaguar has 150 kilos? exept a male lion and tiger(even here it might get lucky. what do you think?
and thanks for answering the conflicts without saint marie drama queen adds, that you don't support theese fights:) cause i agree these debates are very interesting.

Answer
Hi, Kristjan

An average jaguar weighs about 100 kilograms. The largest ever recorded was 347 pounds, and it was found in the Pantanal region of South America. The largest animals jaguars have been known to kill are black caimans and anacondas.

A 150 kilogram one certainly wouldn't be able to kill any other animal; lions, tigers, polar bears, and grizzly bears would all be formidable oponnents to a jaguar.

Best regards,

Fady
