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.

I would very like to know how much this average would change if that 95 kg euthanized male was included. Up to 67 kg maybe? That's still very impressive, like highly impressive. That would be almost 70 kg average despite including Persian leopards from their whole geographical range including the southern iranian males that have wolf-sized specimens of like 45-50 kg. If we did two separated samples for Northern males and Southern males like for tigers, that there are North Indian tigers and central ones, how much would the northern males average in your opinion? My guess is that they would equal Cougars, at around 70-72 kgish.
I might make a whole average Persian leopard sample with Charger and include all leopard wright's ever recorded from Persia. I will probably share it as I did with that jaguar size chart
