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.

Modern Weights and Measurements of Leopards

@Pckts

Despite the weight disagreements here, African Savanna Leopards have some of the greatest feats of strength.

I have not seen any other Leopard subspecies haul up something this big. 

For example, you have Indian Leopards hauling up Chitals, but nothing as impressive as African Leopards.

I always wondered what is truly the largest animal (without any body parts eaten) that a Leopard has hoisted up a tree. Also, what is the heaviest recorded weight.

Anyway, here are Waterberg (Limpopo province, South Africa) Leopard weights.

"Average leopard weights for the Waterberg as estimated by Grimbeek (1992) were 58.8 kg for males and 38 kg for females"
