It's bad we lack data on Aberdare leopards isn't it. To me they are the only leopards that can rival if not even exceed the Persians in size.
We have only two records from there, both hunting records that might be reliable and both are 90+ kg males. The 92.5 kg male hunted by Tony france and the estimated 90-100 kg male. Which is a very large individual so it's probably reliable.
Maybe those areas produce huge males as regular as persian ones? Just two hunting records and we already have two males pushing between 90-100 kgs.
We'll never know. But we can say they look impressive.

This male below is dope.

This male has by far the largest and WIDEST skull I've ever seen on a live leopard Reply
