Here's a screenshot of his massive skull. Another example of these males being large and robust, with large skulls:

That uploader is the guy who has put those mirrors there in the jungle and has studied many many years leopards in the jungle. If you look closer you find other videos too. So he knows something about leopards for sure :)

I'm aware that he put those mirrors there, including the camera's. But for real:

"This leopard stayed almost three full days near a mirror (day, night, sun, rain), rubbing against its reflection, drooling and purring, signs of happiness in this feline. It is amazing that he is looking for company while genetically, unlike lions living in troops, leopards are programmed to live alone."

Again, he does not know what he's talking about. He's just a photographer.

"Just a photographer" who has observed leopards and other animals in Africa for years. Have you ever thought, that he might make headlines to videos with a sense of humor?  Have you read his comments or discussed with him in his threads? I wouldn´t say, that he doesn´t know what he is talking about, when reading some of his comments. When someone(s) uses years there in Africa they tend to learn a lot. He might know more about leopards there than people here combined and could maybe tell a lot about many things he has seen there. Or have you maybe already discussed with him and got feeling, that he knows nothing about leopards/animals he is filming?

The uploader is a videographer by profession not a zoologist. I actually came across with someone who helped him identify the leopards in that region a few years ago. 

Also, it's not a humerous title or headline, it's literally how he described it: "This leopard stayed almost three full days near a mirror (day, night, sun, rain), rubbing against its reflection, drooling and purring, signs of happiness in this feline. It is amazing that he is looking for company while genetically, unlike lions living in troops, leopards are programmed to live alone." Reply
