Size comparisons

[Pckts]

Congo Basin prey is mainly dulkier and red river hog which is the the same has Warthog and less than Impala,  mean prey mass for Congo Basin Leopards is the exact same as anywhere else in Africa.

"Many persians way above 80kgs"
The Persian leopard is one of the largest subspecies (Stein and Hayssen 2013), adult males weigh on average 65.8 kg "

Ali Shemirani Looks either freshly fed, or pregnant....? How much do the males and females usually weight, and how do they compare in size to the African leopards?
My Journey with Persian Leopards[b]It is an adult male, males generally are around 67 female around 44 kg"[/b]

They dont get over 80kg as easily as you claim, as I can also post more with lower weights than these as well.
And once again let's stay on Target, Persian males which are a completely different sub species, live by Bergmans rule and aren't  the cat we're discussing, no skull correlation is shown as well. Yet that 70kg Leopard I posted would be the 2nd largest Leopard on that list according to body length which would mean its skull is one of the largest according to your claim.
And how were these weights collected.... by baiting
How come you dont mention that as well like you tried to do with Jags?

In regards to your question if the Congo basin leopard is above 80kgs, who knows?
I'm not like you, I dont pretend to know the weight of a cat based off of camera trap photos from a mirror.
I have already shown that their dimensions are nothing special and their body size hasn't impressed me more than other Leopards I've posted throughout the African Leopards thread.
So could it be 80kgs, absolutely but it could also be 60kgs too.

And I have proven that many leopards from E. And S. Africa have topped that list, so what's your point?
I have also proven that with Skulls larger than what's on that list no leopard has still weighed 100kgs.

Round and round we go Luipaard. Reply
