Modern Weights and Measurements of Leopards

[AndresVida]

Two large Namibian males who sadly fell in the hands of the barbaric hunters. 

"We had advanced perhaps 40 meters, and I saw it first. SPOTS . . . barely visible in low vegetation. Laying on it’s side . . . and . . . MAGNIFICENT. it had gone 75 paces from the tree. The bullet had done its work and we had our leopard. It was a BRUTE of a big tom. To say we were smiling? . . . After a few photos at the site where we found it, we did the now traditional “around the shoulders carry”. Oh not me! . . . the cat outweighs me by 30 pounds! Jofie is a big man, former rugby player, and I’d guess about 220 pounds, all muscle. I might have saw just a bit of strain at first when adjusting to the load. Back at the lodge, it became clear why. On an accurate platform scale, the big tom weighed 85.2 kilograms (187.8 pounds). A BIG leopard by any standard!"

Now this male has been posted a lot, @Pckts do you remember this male? You've been posting it a lot of times and I've always wondered how much it could weigh, turns out it's Mawenzi sized and weighs about 84 kg! That's big for real
