There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Jajajajaja, excelent point Pckts.
Most modern (and some old) hunters exaggerate they pictures. By the way, how tall is that man? The woman in the picture is much taller than him.
The largest leopards, independently of the area (Africa, India or Iran), measured between 130 to 140 cm in head-body with some exceptional males up to c.160 cm, measured correctly between pegs/straight line and not over curves. There is a figure of 191 cm quoted by Nowak (1999) but that is simply ridiculous. Imagine an animal of the size of a male lion but weighing only 90kg??? It is simply stupid.

The guy in the picture is very short and I can't rule out the possibility that they could use Photoshop in the image.
