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.

That being said, it’s a great book on Iranian parks and wildlife. Highly recommended if you can find it.

That figure is based on an individual:

There was no data back in 1977 except for one male and that's how they concluded males can weigh up to 90kg.
No it wasn't that's Harringtons book right there as he is the one the cited as well as being the closest in date. So unless there's an actual individual with appropriate information specified, it's nothing more than an estimate. 90kg is a generally maximum for any Leopard in literature. It's too easy to just frivolously use large weights without evidence to back them.
