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.

The 115kg cat was revised to be 95kg and was indeed the same cat, allegedly.
And which peer reviewed paper was it claimed in?
I know it was claimed but dismissed in the Persian Study.

There was a vet who commented on the change from 115kg to 95kg but I don't know where it is now but I'm sure @Luipaard has it.

I actually agree that the Leopard was 95 kg.
 It is just that the 115 kg Leopard was used in the source.

While the 95 kg came from a translated newspaper.

The 125 kg obviously came from a translation error.

Point is that newspaper errors can happen in areas where English is not spoken much or a second language.

I don't think the Leopard is 115 kg, but I definitely think that it may have been rivaling 95 kg. Reply
