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.

Toit really does not know much about leopards since he is mixing the Nambian leopard with a Sabi Sands leopard.

No, let’s see the beginning of the conversation so we can get context.
And where does he mix any leopard?
You stating that he doesn’t know much about leopards is absurd, should we compare resumes between you two?
I'll try to get the beginning of the conversation, but it is interesting to see how the supposed big cat expert uses wikipedia rather than actual sources.
He states that the largest African Leopard was recorded in Sabi Sands, only to give the 96 kg record specimen that was in Valencia, Namibia as that Sabi Sands specimen.
The point was that based off the cut off conversation, Marlon mentioning 96kg record isn’t him specifically saying where that record came from nor would that even matter. Knowing weights means little compared to knowing a species as a whole.
The fact that anyone would question Marlon’s knowledge is ridiculous, and only would be done by someone who’s never actually experienced these cats 1st hand.
