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 think that what had begun with the simple presentation of an infographic to give a rough idea of the size of Wagdoh has been unnecessarily complicated despite the explanations that in each case I have given

Why not? Of Wagdoh there are many photographs, not just one and it is evident that it is a relatively short animal. If a measure is against what I see, it seems totally logical to me to study it and give an opinion accordingly. I do not force anyone to believe anything, I only present my opinions

I have never said that all those records were fakes, I didn't even think about it, I consider them good and that's it, but if any of them catch my attention I review it with all the means at my disposal. By the way, there are methods to estimate the size of leopards in the wild using photographs
I had planned to comment on a method to analyze proportions based on photographs, but in view of the conflict generated, it is better to forget it.
