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.

Yes Polar
btw Found this interesting opinion on ....... My assumption is also same.
NORTH CHINESE LEOPARD
North China Leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis) is a subspecies of leopards native to northern China. This leopard is so rare that it is almost never seen in the wild. The North China leopard is a medium sized leopard. The rosette pattern of the North Chinese leopard almost resembles a jaguar pattern. It has longer fur than other leopard subspecies and has the darkest coat of all leopard subspecies. They have darker orange background fur than other leopard subspecies.
Biggest Jaguar weighted by Scientific community was 119 kg.Roughly, Average weight of Male Jaguar is 80 Kg and Leopard is 60 Kg.This may be the reason behind more dots inside leopard rosette.

2.There is only one region where leopards are Apex predators and never faced big crocodiles(Nile,Mugger and Salt) are 'Persian leopards'. If they show fondness of water and their size is big wrt the rest of leopards, my theory is correct.
