Persian Leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor)

[GuateGojira]

Guys, interesting news! I have contacted Dr Farhadinia and he told me that the Persian leopards were measured "over curves". This would make an average Persian leopard up to c.210 cm and a maximum of c.230 cm, like I have foretell previously. It is also possible that the leopard of 259 cm was also measured in this way, although the ratio of tail/total length suggest otherwise.

If we correct all the data, the Persian leopards were of the same size than those of Southern Africa and slightly shorter than those of India, which seems to be the longest ones at this point. However, the body mass is strong point of this subspecies.

I am going to change (again) my image in order to show this new information.

Greetings.
