If I don't remember wrong there was a TBL measurement of like 230 cm.
There was if I'm not mistaken a 215 cm TBL leopard that was close to 80 kg, so if the leopard was 230 cm for real I don't see why it can't be almost 100 kg (95-98 kg) as it's longer than the 215 cm male

By TBL you mean total body length, right? Well on average, a Persian Leopard’s head-body length is about 67% of it’s total length and if this Leopard’s head-body length was also 67% of the total length (if it had a normal sized tail) then this Leopard should only be about 75kg-80kg unless it is unusually bulky but it doesn’t really look much more bulkier than a normal Leopard.

BUT, even if the leopard had an extremely small tail and it’s head-body length was 73% of it’s total length, even then the weight of the Leopard should only be about 98kg.

If the tail of the Leopard was small (at most 28% of total body length) and if it had some stomach content or higher than average chest girth, only then is the weight of 105kg possible and I always try to be optimistic and imagine the best case scenario but such cases require a condition to be met just like when I saw the picture of the ‘389kg’ Tiger.

Therefore, I would say that 105kg is extremely unlikely. I would say around 85kg unless it’s tail was quite shorter than average which would only make it 98. So my guess is 85kg. Reply
