You have probably seen 5-10 different rainforest males and all have been via camera trap, it's a completely different ball game when you get first hand video and images so you can actually compare or use scale.
Just like the anderson Male was the largest Leopard around, claimed to be in the 90-100kg range but when he accidently confronted a Lioness he was dwarfed. You need scale and multiple images and angles to make educated size guesses unless you get to see them in person you'll never know for sure.

"Do you have a link to the tuli leopards weights?"

I got it directly from their site http://tulipredatorproject.ning.com, but it seems like it's not available anymore.

Anderson was dwarfed? Seems like you need to check that encounter again. Here's a better angle: https://www.facebook.com/aliza.schwartzman/videos/10216765012621094/?__tn__=%2Cd*F*F-R&eid=ARCe_GPwDr_3KlWFg_tj6FCVAHAiPUWeC5pQAQbt83luDRax_KubDoNwuoDsKqH4rrkbK_J6cb-cxJ-K&tn-str=*F

For your information, I have seen more than a dozen of individuals, heck I even posted more than '5-10 different rainforest males' in the 'Rainforest leopards' thread. From Congo, Gabon, Cameroon, ... I have seen them all and all have the same characteristics; big skull, very robust and larger than any other leopard from the same continent. I don't need first hand videos to see that. What you need to do, is accept all of this. Stop ignoring the facts. The biggest skulls come from this region alongside the Persian leopards. It's proven so why deny it? It's literally the size of a male Pantanal jaguar, meaning they're in the 90-100kg range. And don't use the 'those are freaks' argument, no, all the large mature males reach those skull measurements.

Here's yet another individual with all the characteristics I mentioned before. Crazy how I'm able to show leopard after leopard, knowing that these are the least documented of all leopards.

And I'm making that argument invalid:

You want a comparison?

"You need scale and multiple images and angles to make educated size guesses"

Again, using skull measurements isn't an educated size guess? 

Just check out the 'Rainforest leopards' thread and look at all the individuals. I am not using 'freak' specimens, males being that large and robust is the norm. I'm open for discussion becouse I'm quite confident when it comes to this, but don't ignore or deny everything I say. Reply
