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.
Sri Lankan Leopards measured have smaller body dimensions than the Indians measured and their weights are average, it doesnt matter what their skulls are, their body size tells the whole story. Again I'm specifically speaking on Yala Leopards when I discuss them with others and they are the ones that are said to be smaller than Africans and similar size to Indians.
Largest Skull dimensions have absolutely been surpassed by numerous African Leopards, weights all matched as well.
I've posted numerous ones with higher scores which you've already seen.
In fact, the Aberdare Leopard posted has a smaller skull score than a few Leopards I posted and once again none 100kg.
Aberdare is a completely different ecosystem with large amounts of competition and prey to supplement it.
Lions exist there and did so in higher numbers in the past just like lions all over, their numbers have began to drop but they still exist there in smaller numbers. But once again, Aberdare has many factors not seen in the Congo Basin, Iran or Sri Lanka. Just compare prey biomass of the 3, its not close.
