Modern Weights and Measurements of Leopards

[Luipaard]

Namibian male leopard captured on a farm:

"Naankuse’s Rapid Response Unit (RRU) leapt to action again on 26 October. A farmer had lost 10 stud Brahman cattle to spotted hyenas – a difficult deficit to deal with.

Understandably concerned, the cattle farmer set up a baited capture cage in the hopes of trapping the culprits and moving them elsewhere. However, the bait tempted a leopard instead, the powerful predator humanely caught.

Being conservation-savvy, this farmer kraals all calves for up to six months, this livestock protection technique ensuring that he has never experienced losses to leopards. As a result, he was eager for the leopard to be fitted with a GPS collar and released back onto his land.

The big cat, initially believed to be a sub-adult, was a magnificent 64.5kg male leopard instead. Several scars marring his formidable form indicated that he had fought with other male leopards in the area. But overall he sported prime health."
