Size comparisons

[Luipaard]

But that's not the right thing to do either, I'm comparing a Central African male with a jaguar and you're showing me 2 random, captive animals for comparison.

That's like me showing a random video of a Mexican jaguar in the same enclosure with a Central African male, and saying that jaguars are smaller than these leopards.

Comparing them is difficult as they overlap in size. Yes, I already agreed on the fact that jaguars are bigger and more robust overall. That still doesn't mean that Central African leopards will look small and slender like in that video you shared. I'm convinced that the difference would be marginal.

As for Jo, I assume she knows what she's talking about being a Panthera researcher. Her opinion shouldn't be ignored. Reply
