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.

There is significant overlap. Basically an extra large leopard is 85-100kg which is similar to an extra large cougar. A leopard will have a larger skull, more robust chest and neck and POSSIBLY limbs (but this is still debated and I haven't been able to find much on either limbs girth) where a cougar is much more leggy. "Longer limbs and possibly more robust"
I think on average they are too close to say one is larger than the other.
