Is this the longest leopard in India?
At eight feet seven inches from head to tail, it could well be one of the longest big cats of its species. According to records available with government agencies in the state, the longest leopard until now has measured 8 feet and 2 inches. Once they get the confirmation, the officials will approach the Guinness Book of World Records for an official entry. The cat is 34 inches tall and weighs 70.850 kg. Forest officers said that it had become a man-eater after it was caught in a farmer's trap and injured its left leg. Unable to chase more sprightly prey it started attacking humans. It had killed one 46-year-old man and attacked a couple of others before it was shot down. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Is-this-the-longest-leopard-in-India/articleshow/56227308.cms   (01-25-2017, 12:35 PM)brotherbear Wrote: ...and his name is Apollo.

Apollo, just how big is this magnificent Siberian tiger? He looks to be of a "Pleistocene-size."
