ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - D - THE LEOPARD (Panthera pardus)

[Jubatus]

Regarding size as some here has already stated: some huge Leopards from central western africa alongside the Persian leopard atleast before when there was alot more of them (etimated population today is 500-800 induviduals) is probably the biggest and heaviest, although @Pantherinae is not far of with his statements on leopards from south africa atleast from some places there are close to the top.
we have some huge males there, if it's ture as it seems, a male leopard there called ¨Vin diesel male¨ was weighed at over 90 kg's (I've heard 97 kg) no matter if he was gorged that's an insane weight for a leopard (when a leopard surpasses 70 kg, it starts to be a very impressive animal) and I would not be surprised if there are even bigger males in Krüger. 

with that said, huge leopardas can occur everywhere: Namibia, Botswana, Tanzania, India, Kenya and as discussed South Africa, but leopards I've seen from Gabon etc and Iran (looks to have gigantic chest girth) on pictures and what I've read abot those leopards skulls they would most likely be the biggest.
