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.

You mentioned that the Savanna Leopards are big due to living in an area with the highest prey density?

Would that mean the Leopards in forest-savanna mosaics are equal to or possibly bigger due to having a great amount of prey for both ecosystems?

Kenyan Highland Leopards certainly have access to large amounts of prey but they are dispersed in smaller pockets, they don't gather in near the numbers you see in the serengeti for instance.
At this point I think we have enough skulls and weights from all over Africa that show Leopards can obtain large size throughout, the idea of Forest or Persians being the top tier with no match is not accurate.
