That's a vague statement isn't it? Especially considering that male leopards have a similar maximum shoulder height as male jaguars. In mass jaguaresses and male leopards too are similar. He isn't even comparing cats; he's boasting the jaguars because that's what Marlon Dutoit does.

No jaguaress is going to dwarf big Persian males from northern Iran but at the same time that jaguaress he mentions could be thrice the size of an Arabian male leopard. Again it's a vague statement.

Shoulder height isn’t indicative of a cats size and similar isn’t the same.

Female Jaguars from the Pantanal are going to dwarf male Leopards which is what was stated. Not that they’ll dwarf the largest individuals of the Leopard species. And regardless of location, female Pantanal  Jaguars will be larger than any male leopard subspecies. The largest Persians, Africans and Indians will all overlap with Female Jaguars for sure but the biggest of them more often is the Female Panatanal Jaguar. 

Lastly, there’s no discrediting Marlon, he’s seen 100s of leopards and dozens of Jaguars, he’s not making uneducated claims.

Not trying to argue with Marlon, but what national parks has he gone to for Leopards?

He’s seen leopards from all over E/S Africa. 
Name a major park and he’s probably been there.

Ok.

So did he go as a guide or a tourist to all tthese parks?

Also you mentioned that he went to India?

He’s a guide. He’s been to few parks in India and the Pantanal as well. You can view his IG and see all this if you want. Reply
