This case is one, which looks like such, that @sanjay  might know more. It is said to be 113 kg, even though when looking at photo scale show 111,5 kg. Small difference, but I couldn´t help notice it

Sorry for replying to an old post but I just wanted to clarify that, I think, you're talking about this Indian leopard named Balaji:

"Leopards generally live for 15 years in the wild and weigh about 60 kg. But Balaji was morbidly obese ever since it was trapped in the Seshachalam forests in February 1998. At the time of its capture, it weighed 113 kg The wild animal was between 10 and 12 years when it was caught. It lived in the zoo for 15 years. Weight increased to 143 kg."
