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.

Modern Weights and Measurements of Leopards

United States Styx38 Offline

@Luipaard A 75 kg subadult Leopard is posted on that chart. If the measurement is accurate, this could mean that the Leopard will be a 90 + kg specimen once he is fully grown. 

It is possible to even reach 100 kg.



Anyway, here are some Leopard weights from Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand.

It was interesting that they radio-tracked these Leopards before the GPS collars. 

There was a 70 kg male Leopard.

Here is a male Leopard. He may most likely be the 60 kg specimen.
