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.

Bottom line is that he has an extensive track record of observations of leopards and other wildlife and can give valuable opinions on said observations. And yes, he will know more about certain aspects of this animal than someone who doesn't have an inch of the experience Marlon has in the viewing them in their natural habitat.
So in other words, you admit to over glorifying a tour guide. LOL
Not once did I allude to over glorifying him, on the contrary, I'm glad to emphasize Marlon's track records as someone who has had direct contact with multiple cats around the world and is more than qualified to give opinions on them and those opinions will hold more value than someone who hasn't had a tenth of his experience observing these animals.
I'm guessing all this rant to try to discredit him is coming from his opinion on female jaguars and male leopards. Newsflash, not only is his opinion accurate but it is also supported by data. You can either continue throwing temper tantrums about it by trying to diminish his experience, or you can move on, either way it doesn't alter the facts.
