Not that I condone any of this but as you can see, Central African Leopards aren't producing any larger Leopard in comparison to E. African For instance

For Comparison, this is a Bali Tiger hunted by  M. Zanveld in 1920s

Bali Tigers are said to be 100kg and assuming this fellow here is 100kg it's safe to say no Leopard shown would be close to this guys size.

Yeah, photos are interesting. They can tell more than thousand words is said sometimes. But when purpose is to exaggerate, it is easy to make a better lie than could be made with thousand words I think.

For instance there is a photo where a woman holds up a killed leopard and it looks like to be huge. But when thinking, that, should I say an average woman should pick up a huge dead and limp 90 kg leopard and keep it there with smile on her face... that is easier said than done. But even 50-60 kg leopard can be made to look like quite big/huge when taking photo from right angle.

But it looks like, that there is less information about weights of leopards than I though (I haven´t been looking around a lot) because this latest discussion has provided very little such information really. Reply
