"Very little is known about the leopard in Malaysian tropical rain forests, particularly in human‐dominated environments where only patches of its habitats have remained (Azlan & Sharma, 2006; Kawanishi, 2002; Krau Wildlife Reserve Management plan, 2001). Present study has been conducted in Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, a fragmented forest within the fastest growing urban agglomeration in Peninsular Malaysia.

Wild boar was recognized as the main prey species of leopards in the study area followed by monkeys and mouse deers. The area was completely occupied by these species and there was no evidence of lack of prey sufficiency in this logged over and isolated secondary tropical rain forest. Results of these studies support the fact that even though ungulates are expected to be rare in tropical rain forests, this situation may change in fragmented and disturbed habitats. Exceptionally high density of prey species in fragmented forests, particularly wild boar, has been reported previously from a lowland dipterocarp rain forest (Pasoh Forest Reserve, Negeri Sembilan) in Peninsular Malaysia (Ickes, 2001).

Our Study revealed a density estimate as high as 28.35 leopards/100 km². This is one of the highest leopard densities ever recorded, comparable with 23.6 leopards/100 km2 in Rhodes Matopos National Park (Zimbabwe), 23.8 leopards/100 km2 in Londolozi Game Reserve (South Africa) and 41.7 leopards/100 km2 in Sanjay Gandhi National Park (India)"

Here are some Leopards from Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand.



It was interesting how they tracked the Leopards with radio collars in the 1980s.



Here is a male Leopard. He may most likely be the 60 kg specimen.

@Luipaard @Lycaon Do you guys think the 70kg Leopard was the largest scientifically recorded specimen of Thailand or Indochina? You guys can PM if you want.

I would guess it was the largest in the Indochina region.

I agree although he had been feeding from a sambar kill whereas the 60kg male was baited via live pigs. Still both are very large for Indochinese leopards.

Another leopard from peninsular Malaysia. In a camera trap study conducted here only 2 leopards were found to be non-melanistic while all other leopards were melanistic. It is actually quite hard to find pictures of golden colored leopards from Malaysia.

Male leopard from malaysia. In this partciular forest where this leopard was camera trapped there were no golden leopards recorded. The entire population is melanistic. The typical physique of these leopards is similar to pumas from the amazon i would say. They are very lean and slender including the males.
