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.

Except for the fact that he wasn't weighed, correct?
Comparing him to a tiny female is misleading, be honest, how large do you actually think that female is?
I'd have serious doubts of that leopard being even 90kgs either, he looks like a good sized Male but not one that is 40% heavier than a good sized Leopard from S. Or E. Africa.
That's your opinion and that's fine by me. I also know your opinion about these Central African leopards (being equal to other, mediocre subspecies). But I'm still gonna lean towards the guides their estimation if that's okay for you.
