With still no methodology whatsoever. I will explain what is the issue in a different thread later. they do not need to explain that , i am pretty sure they have the accurate weights , these people study these animals . |

How do you know that?
You do realize that you don't even need a degree in science to be a science journalist, right? Sometimes, an education in a more journalistic discipline enough. Only a fraction of scientists even have the writing skills for a career in science journalism, so you can be certain that not everyone there writes about things they have personally studied. I have no idea where these people get their data from. Maybe from reading scientific papers or interviewing scientists, maybe from books or documentaries, I have no idea.
Such websites are for making science easily comprehensible to a lay audience, not for presenting original research.
Anyway, I think you should return to your discussion with dinosauria about jaguar size.

Not to be 'that guy', but do you have those studies on the supposed 130 kg jaguars? |

As creature386 said, those are not the proper studies |

As creature386 said, those are not the proper studies in all due respect just because he says it does not make it true |
