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.

100% Leopards kills adult Sambar, so that's false.

2ndly, not a single study states any leopard species rarely kills adults and African Leopards kill far more and larger prey than any species of Leopard in comparison.
Indian leopards have much less small to mid sized prey available comparitively so of course they won't make as many large kills, also why they're usually smaller than their African cousins.

Now in regards to Jaguars, you're speaking on different species, if being the apex predator dictated size than all Jaguars would be pantanal sized. But that's not the case, the pantanal on top of being a completely unique eco system, offers many prey items that are extremely large. I.e. Capybara, Caiman, Pecaray, Giant Ant eater, Marsh Deer, Otter, etc.

Sri Lankan leopards are apex predators yet their size isn't larger than African Leopards or even Indians based off measurements and weights, Persian leopards are apex predators with high altitude in their favor yet they haven't produced a Leopard over 100kg.
You can speculate all you want, the facts are the same. Male Leopards are 50-80kg, some outliers get close to that 100kg mark. These weights have occured in Africa, India or Iran, not one place has produced some freak individuals that dwarf all other sub species.
