Never seen a male leopard this big when confronted by a pride of lions

Notice that the male leopard is much far from the lioness lying on the bottom and despite this it looks basically only 2/3 her size!!! Despite the lioness is much closer to the camera!

Here a better comparison between the leopard and a lioness on the same place but with time difference

That's a big male!!! I have seen this comparison on carnivora and the guy said that's >>>only<<<< an average leopard! If it's true it might be also true that max sized leopards can surpass 100 kgs and possibly rivaling the size of a 118–120 kg lioness which is much smaller than the average 143–150 kg lioness.

But in my opinion that leopard is not average, might be anywhere between 180-209 lbs ( 81–95 kgs) and possibly close to 220 lbs (100 kgs) but that's only my estimate

I'm so glad it escaped, I love big males

What do you guys think?

It is by no means a small leopard but I doubt it weighs 80kg-95kg. I'd say around 70kg-75kg so still above average. At best it is indeed 2/3 the lioness' size. Reply
