In terms of overall stockiness this guy IMO appears as stocky as any wild jaguar I've seen photographed. Also, with some skulls exceeding 280mm and such heavily built bodies I think it's perfectly plausible that these leopards may occasionally hit the 100kg mark.

Indeed 90 kilos leopard only in north iran and in some particular ecological niche like Valencia in Namibia or some in central Africa. impressive male!

That Persian male is also very impressive. I think a 100KG male is not out the question in Iran, all males there seem large both overall and proportionally and especially with a big tom like that. I wonder how much he is? Nice new sig too, Kurtz.

Deny, deny, deny. Posts: 1,830 Group: Members Member #40 Joined: Jan 11, 2012	That leopard appears very well fed that's for sure. Here's another persian: Thick neck & big head along with nice forearms.

That looks like a FULL leopard with short limbs. Still has a different body structure then a Jaguar. It appears to be fat and full of fur. What makes it odd about being a leopard is that it's legs are short. See the difference Edited by ImperialDino, Oct 18 2012, 07:05 AM.

As for structure comparative yes no way to compare any jaguar to any leopard. Leopard have a different ratio head neck.

We found the Marthly Male mating with the Maxabene Female, north of the Sand River, on Marthly. They were near a termite mound that was housing a warthog family. For some reason, despite knowing the leopards were there, the warthogs came running out, and one was seized by the big male leopard." Not ambush???! http://blog.londolozi.com/2012/10/the-week-in-pictures-58/
