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.

I'm not sure where you got that from, the leopard looks normal body sized for a Male.
You need to see good sized males in person to appreciate what a 70kg Leopard actually looks like.
Edit: I found a treasure trove of old Jaguars photos that will be great for comparison. I'll post them tomorrow and you can post the Leopards that you think match up.
He looks large with a massive skull size. Not sure why you're overlooking that. But you've done that before so no surprise.
Persian have one of the biggest skulls, only Central African males best them. As you should know, it's a good indicator to estimate an animal its size. Same applies to these Central African males; their average skull size is higher than a South African male and the biggest skulls in the world are from these males. Tell me, what makes you think they're mediocre and will average 65kg with such huge skulls?
