Size comparisons

Quote:Although I didn't see a lot of skulls from Sri Lanka, India, Iran and central parts of Africa, I did notice that skulls of males shot in central parts of Africa had a robust mandibula, large and robust teeth and a flattish profile. They also were (relatively) heavier than skulls from Asia. In skulls of African leopards, the profile is less vaulted than in many Asian leopards. My guess is African leopards could have relatively larger skulls, but I need more time to get to a conclusion.

Quote:And you say "you've seen" but the fact is that you haven't seen any of them. A camera trap photo from ground level 2 meters away isn't comparable to shots from jeeps above eye level from much further away.

Do you really have to see them in real life to notice the difference? Seems like you don't want to compare this particular male with the other males I listed. Just look at his head, no other male rivals that. Not even the so called biggest leopards Vin Diesel or Camp Pan even though they were very impressive males. I suppose you which males I'm talking about? If so, just try to compare them and you should come to the conclusion that this particular male is even bigger than them. Small detail: although not official, Vin Diesel was reported to weigh 97kg Reply
