We're not talking about Asian Leopards, we're talking about Africans, correct?
Not to mention, what does that have to do with Jaguar Skulls being heavier and wider?

I don't wan't to talk about which male?
None of the males I've seen exceed males from other parts of Africa, I'm pretty sure I've spoken about that numerous times. I've also shown Leopards with exceeding measurements of the Congo Basin Skulls aswell, do you wish to talk about them?

And most important statement on the Vin Diesal male "not official" although that would would only confirm my statement.

I have proven that Central African leopards have larger skulls than South African leopards a few posts ago. Fact that no East African or South African made the top lists says enough. One specimen of Uganda, one from Sudan and one from Sudan made it. The rest were from either Iran or Central African. The quote was becouse @peter  stated that "skulls of males shot in central parts of Africa had a robust mandibula, large and robust teeth and a flattish profile."

Yes you may talk about them. All I asked you is if the particular leopard I showed you are above or under 80 kg since you said they were under 80 kg which is impossible since they have larger skull sized than Persian leopards. Many Persian easily weigh above 80 kg so how would Central African leopards weigh under 80 kg? 

Quote:A persian leopard also has bergmans rule on their side while Congo basin leopards have the opposite rule of insular dwarfism

Yet they're the apex predator and mainly predate on heavy prey like red river hogs. Tackling such prey requires a lot of strength. I doubt they're smaller like South African leopards who mainly predate on impala.

As you've mentioned before:

I'm afraid this is a never ending story Reply
