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 personally don't believe that one is legitimate, especially after the reduction of 115kg to 95kg. 

I'd like to know more about the 91kg one and get some specifics on any 80-90kg Leopard to be honest. 
It'd help a lot when comparing cats and knowing which seem reasonable or not but for whatever reason, we can't find very many.

Though the 115 kg was mentioned in a peer reviewed paper.

Maybe there was a mistaken identity between the 95 kg one and the 115 kg one?

After all, there are a ton of mistakes in areas with English as a second language.

For example, here was a misprint of a 125 kg Leopard from India.

Either or given weight for the Persian Leopard could be a misprint, but the 115 kg Leopard came from a from a more credible source.
