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 believe that photo is proven to be photoshoped. The other two leopards are impressive though  Like

Descoperă (https://www.descopera.ro/dnews/7760878-l...l-in-india) says that this is a captive Indian leopard known as 'Balaji' which was housed at Sri Venkateshwara Zoo in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, and weighed 139 kg (306 lbs), and Descoperă isn't the only source on Balaji. In fact, Descoperă got its information from The Hindu, an Indian newspaper, and The Hindu said the same thing, that there was an obese leopard weighing 139 kg (306 lbs) at Tirupati's Sri Venkateshwara Zoo known as 'Balaji', which died on the 11th of June, 2013: https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp...s_ss=email, https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp...805518.ece

That image was also used by Deccan Chronicle, and both Deccan Chronicle and The Times of India give another astonishing weight, that is 143 kg (315 lbs)! https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city...548422.cms, https://www.pressreader.com/india/deccan...5238088126
