Thanks for directing that. Persian Leopards weighing over 90 kgs is extraordinary, what i would give to see such an individual ! Do you have any information on where that perticular individual was found ? [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]   


 

Sadly, this is the only document with that data. Here is the link the file in order to share it with all here:

The only thing that we know now is that those leopards in Iran are among the largest, at the same side than those of South Africa and Sri Lanka.

India also have large leopards (if not the longest ones), although not as heavy as those of the previous areas mentioned here. There are second hand reports that leopards in the jungle areas of Africa (like Gabon) are also large, but at this moment just a few skulls are the only evidence that suggest a large size.
