Sri Lankan Leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya)

[Pckts]

For the tuli project, 3 adult Male leopards is hardly enough of a sample size to come to any conclusions.

I'm not even going to get into skull size and body size of Leopards and Jaguars as there is nothing more that needs to be said in that department.

In the book, Big Cats:
A weight range 25kg-90kg without a source is most likely an estimate and since there is no data or sources for the 90kg claim, it's hardly conclusive 

A weight range for Sri Lankan leopards of 25kg-90kg would put the Sei Lankan Leopard in the exact same weight range as Indias, Africans and Persians. And if you use just the 81kg sources weight and added it to the other 11m's that have been weighed, your average maybe increases to 60kg?
Again, exactly where most other leopard sub species range. 

Considering the fact that people who've actually seen  both say that African Leopards are larger than Sri Lankans, their body weight is less than Africans and their numbers are extremely small compared to Africans and there prey biomass is much less than Africans. The odds of them being larger than Africans would be extremely slim. Reply
