I already told the whole story about this particular leopard in my latest post of this thread at post #525

The vet confirmed that the cat was weighed at 115 kg when found beside a carcass, so it was gorged, that's why it weighed that much. After a Vic in the box of high stress the cat refused to eat for days, and the weight dropped at around 105 kgs the first time and they day of the euthanasia, always after not eating for other hours, it weighed 98 kg .

This makes Alborz the largest leopard on record ever, beating the previous Namibian record of 96 kg by rhoughly 4 kgs.
With a range of 98-105 kg when not eating for days in stress in the box, Alborz was by consequence c.
100 kg empty or maybe some grams more.

A giant of its own kind verified by a vet makes this a scientific record, can't believe we finally got a 100 kg leopard that it's not a hunting record.

Long live the beast Alborz , never will be missed for surviving several gunshots from barbaric poachers.
To note that the says "the leopard had been shot several times with the most recent one being in the spinal cord" indicating the leopard was already shot before and had already survived.

Built different

Which Vet?
The only confirmation of weight was “a little under 100kg during euthanasia.”
Then stated at 95kg
Do you have another with anyone involved with the actual weighing during capture? Reply
