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.

When talking about that picture of an unusually obese Indian leopard here (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-indian-...8#pid89338), I noticed something interesting. The Romanian source Descoperă (https://www.descopera.ro/dnews/7760878-l...l-in-india) says that this is a captive Indian leopard known as 'Balaji' which was housed at Sri Venkateshwara Zoo in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, and weighed 139 kg (306 lbs), and after searching for more information, I noticed that Descoperă wasn't the only source on Balaji. In fact, Descoperă got its information from The Hindu, an Indian newspaper, and The Hindu said the same thing, that there was an obese leopard weighing 139 kg (306 lbs) at Tirupati's Sri Venkateshwara Zoo known as 'Balaji', which died on the 11th of June, 2013: https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp...s_ss=email, https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp...805518.ece

The Times of India and Deccan Chronicle gave another astonishing weight for this leopard, that is 143 kg (315 lbs)! https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city...548422.cms, https://www.pressreader.com/india/deccan...5238088126
