Persian Leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor)

[GuateGojira]

Ok people, here is the comparison image and the size (body measurements) of the Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor):

*This image is copyright of its original author

The head-body length is based in 9 specimens, all measured in the flesh. Other specimens measured in stuffed animals or skins were discarded. Interestingly, the longest of the males was of 259 cm in the flesh and taking in count that the ratio of tail/total length is of 0.64, this specimen seems to be measured between pegs. However, as the total lengths in the image were taken from Farhadinia et al. 2014, I don't include it, just the head-body. In the future images of the exceptional specimens, it will be included, just like the weight of 115 kg for this subspecies.

In the image, the leopard seems too short for the 221 cm of average total length, but you most take in count that the animal is non-stretched. If you put it in straight line, the leopard in the image is slightly longer than the average figure, but this is because it had a very long tail.

The list of skulls include the large specimen from Golestan, correctly measured.

Greetings.
