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.

The fact is, 80kg-100kg leopards are exceptional. And while skulls are big in Congo leopards they arent larger than pantanal skulls nor have I seen anyone look into a correlation of skull size to body size in Jags and Leopards.
This is a massive skulled decent sized Bolivian jaguar.
Also, we still have 1 individuals weight of 40kgs from the congo.
In regards to persians, the 115 kg claim is hardly convincing considering that cat was missing a paw and looked fairly small on the table. What you do see is many in the 45-70kg range which is your standard leopard weight.
