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.

Quote:You linked a table for Indian leopard weights made by the notorious troll TwicoFive that has 0 sources to back them up and decided that the alleged weights of 80+ kg were sufficient to substantiate your claim that leopards reach this size threshold with more consistency than female jaguars when there are only two weights in that table above 80 kg and whose reliability is not even certain.


Here are the sources for 80+ Kg Leopards in india.

For the 83 kg Leopard:

"A male wild leopard may weigh up to 50kg (the maximum recorded by the author 83kg) and a female up to 35kg."

Athreya, V. I. D. Y. A., and A. V. Belsare. "Human-leopard conflict management guidelines." Kaati Trust, Pune. India. Web site: www. peopleandwildlife. org. uk/crmanuals (2007).


For the 80 kg Leopard:

"The eight-year-old male leopard weighs around 80 kg, said officials."

"According to officials, the animal — an eight-year-old male weighing around 80 kg — wandered around the engine room through the night. "
