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.

This is quite the contradictory statement.
First you say you cannot determine a lb for lb ranking then say it's subjective and only your opinion then finally you go on to say the "fact" that the smallest of the big 4 accomplished feats that are unmatched.
So which is it, opinion, undetermined or fact?
First off, this claim alone is wrong "the smallest of the four big cats yet have accomplished feats that are unmatched."
How you come to the conclusion that dragging an impala sized carcass up a tree is more impressive than dragging a 800kg Bovine or a 100kg Caiman up a steep muddy slope through dense grass.
If you want to stick with it being your opinion, that's fine but like I've already shown you, you're interpreting lb for lb wrong to begin with.
It's fairly easy to see just given the eye test between these cats.
The Leopard is the least physically impressive of the 4, it's build is much more gracile than the other 3, this isn't only true for the males but also the females. Try finding a Female Leopard that compares to the big Tigress, Lioness and Jaguars, you can't. This isn't to take anything away from the Leopard, it's just easily noticeable.
