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.

My theory : In Asia Persian and Srilankan leopards are little bigger than their neighbor Indian leopards ...... Why because they don't face Dhole-Wolf Packs,Bears, Asiatic Lions and most importantly thier BIG DADDY-Bengal Tigers (it even climb trees and kills him ).So, Indian leopards are mostly stick to trees like monkeys unlike Persian and lankan leopards which are ALPHA in their region and little bigger.
Same goes to Jaguars,because of almost zero competition in South America Leopards became little bigger and now they are called as Jaguars.
or
They were evolved from Asian leopards (Siberia to Alaska to South America) like Barbary/Indian lions evolved from African lions
