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.

Here's the official report of the injured Persian leopard:

And here's the translated version:

In the last paragraph it is said they wanted to put the cat down humanely. This confirms Iman Memarian's messages he sent us - i.e. that the leopard weighed 95kg at the time of euthanasia and 115kg at the time of his capture.

The only weight listed is 95kg and that’s not at the time of euthanasia, that’s the investigative procedure to determine a recommendation in which euthanasia was recommended.

No measurements provided so it again brings up if it was weighed and the actual procedure used to weigh it. Let alone the 115kg claim that still hasn’t been substantiated in any form.
And being at a small animal hospital I’m curious what their scale capacity was and if one was present?

He weighed 95kg around the time there's was nothing they could do except put it out of its misery. So this is more or less around his euthanasia. We've all seen the photos where he's an emaciated cat so one might wonder his actual weight in a healthy condition.

You just received an offical report signed by wildlife veterinarian Iman Memarian who provided both of us all the info behind this cat and two more professors. You cannot expect body measurements to be provided in a clinical report.

I've seen other animals being brought in such as the heavier Syrian brown bear. Not saying it was at the same hospital but still. Also human scales already surpass 100kg so why do you doubt the capacity in this case?

You now question if they even weighed the cat but it honestly doesn't get more official than this report.
