The measurements of the Javan Leopards indicated that they were smaller than their Indian counterparts. 

One Javan Leopard from Bogor, West Java was measured to be 45 kg.




However, a recently captured Javan Leopard was heavier than the previously mentioned Leopard, weighing in at 50 kg.


"From media reports there was news about two Javan leopard that had been caught in Girimukti. One leopard came from Ciangsana and was caught on 12 October 2013.
The sex of the leopard was male, and its age is approximately 7-8 years old with 50 kg body weight. This leopard was evacuated to Bogor Safari Park"
