That's the point, she makes it look typical, but this is a huge Masai Mara male. An average female would look like a cub next to him. She's big for a female leopard.

Not in terms of weight of course, but she would pretty much the same next to one bar the big skull and dewlap. Because again, she's not being dwarfed by a huge male.
Just imagine an average male next to her and you get the idea.

He'd be larger than this female.
There's a reason why you can't find an ccount of a male v male encounter *similar age* where one of the males is outsized like that.
I'm not saying this female couldn't be large, but she's not the size of a male.
The females name is Bahati
