^Well jaguars are frequent hunters of similar sized adult yacare and spectacled caimans, though that comparsion may be somewhat biased as we are comparing two rather unimpressive species of crocodilian to possibly the most powerfully built big cat. Though I should note that comparing the boar croc to large modern day reptiles that coexist with felines, as they probably functioned completetly diffrently as they are supposedly a primarily terrestrial species of crocodilian. Yacre & spectacled caiman are much smaller than jaguar. |

Spectacled Caiman's aren't even close to the Jaguar's size. On average they're only 88 lbs. Ain't the average Jaguar 200-220 lbs? |

Yes an adult jaguar would have a considerable weight advantage over both reptiles, but I would still consider them similar in size.

Not all jaguars reach weights excess in two hundred pounds, though it seems I did admittedly underestimated the average weights of jaguars and overestimated those of a specacled caiman.

I woudn't know. I like jaguars but haven't read up on them much. But I believe their weights vary, and depend on the region they live in.

Isn't that the average weight of a Jaguar though? It's along 190-230lbs on average if taking in all sub species average. Large ones reach 300. Still significant size advantage either way. |

Siberian Tiger would win. Bengal Tigers and Jaguars have a good history of killing similar sized reptiles (not just snakes, but crocodilians too). I feel that the Tiger would have the speed, stamina, and arguably strength advantage. The Kapro might be more durable, but the Tiger too is capable of taking punishment.
Overall I'd bet on the Tiger 7/10.

Overall I'd bet on the Tiger 7/10. Once again.. WHAT SIMILAR SIZED REPTILES??? they only kill crocodile jaguar kill are small yavre and spectacled caiman out of their element from ambush. Even if they did fight head on the crocodile is significantly smaller. Every other reptile any big cat exist with the exception of some snakes and the leatherback turtle are significantly smaller than them. What reptiles are you talking about??? Your not gonna pull out you seen a badger or something kill an imaginary reptile larger than it are you? Or with the lethargic rock python? |
