sam1elosha11The old size chart was a bit scrappy, so I put together a new one:  On top: Lower size range; 55 kg jaguar (50 cm shoulder height) vs Orinoco crocodile (4.1 meters, 380 kg) In the middle: Higher size range; 95 kg jaguar (70 cm shoulder height) vs Orinoco crocodile (5.2 meters, 635 kg) On the bottom: Record sized 148 kg jaguar (80 cm shoulder height) vs record Orinoco crocodile (6.8 meters, likely about 1.5-1.8 tons based on other large crocodiles) (I have increased the bulk of the larger crocodiles in accordance with the bulk increase as they grow) And finally, some things about the jaguars: -They may look larger than they are due to background influence. Try to ignore it -If the crocodiles do not look much heavier, that's only from side view. Top view means the crocodiles are much wider

The average adult length for the orinoco crocodile is actually a mere 3m. |

The average adult length for the orinoco crocodile is actually a mere 3m. That's either female or subadult. Not many Orinoco crocodiles get to be full grown nowadays, but those that do (the males) range from 4.1-5.2 meters, with 380-635 kg in weight. |

My bad, threw out the wrong figure but you aren't entirely right either. The mature females range is > 2.5m, and males > 3m. So I'd say it's doubtful the male average would be much greater than 4m. |

Well I believe that has something to do with the fact that nowadays most Orinoco crocodiles just don't get to full maturity. A fully grown adult does indeed get to those sizes. |
