Yeap I do already know that he said this, I'm the same guy who you spoke to on Carnivora as I'm "andreavitanza305" . Do you remember when you mentioned this and guessestimated Northern males to be around "mid to high 70s" on average? Personally I think around 70 kgs is a better estimate as mid to high 70s could be too close to Pantanal jaguaresses that do reach higher weights, although the idea of freak sized 100+ kg leopards is still possible as we are able to record approaching males of this sizes from African males that average less, let alone an hypothetical 70 kg average population.

Do you have data regarding the highest reliable  shoulder height for these leopards taken on straight line without counting the paw? I guess it would be anywhere around 78 cm maybe. Some sites say 80+ cm but I think that's because it does include the paw. And that isn't of course a reliable methodology for measuring shoulder heights as well as those all 120+ cm lions and tigers.
I remember a 140 cm tall lion somewhere lol. Polar bear sized hell no that's inaccurate.

No unfortunately I don't, they aren't specific about the protocol in that way. Unfortunately these measurements have been an enigma as we haven't been able to get real information about them the same we we do Jaguars for instance. Since the measurements are 2nd hand the research paper doesn't elaborate. The mention of shoulder height and body length being exceptional in size was from Kambiz Baradarani. But as we both know, unless we compare apples to apples, those claims can't be verified. Reply
