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.
I have been recently in a conversation on instagram with an iranian biologist (he prefers remaining private) who mentioned to me two persian leopard weights from last year.
1) a female leopard, mentioned to be the smallest individual captured that year, weighed 32 kgs or 70.5 lbs
2) A 10 years old male leopard broke the scale when he was weighed, the value was of 80 kgs or 180 lbs but since the scale broke the real weight was presumably more
