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.

The heaveist clouded leopard in hunting and scientific records is a male of 25.2 kg captured in Borneo for radiocollaring studies.
The heaviest Eurasian lynx in scientific records is a male of 28.1 kg in the Sikhote Alin, Russia. The heaviest male in "reliable" hunting record was a male of 36.5 kg from Czechoslovakia. There are other reports of specimens over 40 kg, but according with Heptner & Sludskii (1992) and Sunquist & Sunquist (2002), those are exagerations.
Just for comparison, the heaviest wild snow leopard is of 52 kg and was captured in Mongolia for radiocollaring studies. So the cheetah is, in fact, larger than the snow leopard.
