Kurtz,

1st video Tingana,

2nd Tingana en I think the next big thing in the Sabi Sands, The Anderson male, son of Emsagwen
Tingana is a monster, anderson male seems stockier and bulkier than his father.
Anyway Tingana may at now among the three or two biggest males in sabi sands he is colossal, i never see a so big male so close a jeep... very close under the up chair of fieldguide

These leopards to me look like the biggest subspecies, biggest frame, but maybe not as massive as the Jungle leopards

hi 221 Extra, great stuff! What I like about the Indian and Sri Lanka leopards that they look so different then their SA counterparts.
More rounded backs, more athletic. Not as stocky.

Hello!
The top male leopards from India are as massive and muscular than their african counterparts. Yes, their colouration and proportions are different, but they are massive too.
Unfortunately nobody did a serious study in indian leopards. Everybody concentrate about savanna leopards wich are not the most extraordinary leopard ssp.
Not even the centralal, west and east african leopard ssp, are studyed and photographied as much as ten sout african ones...
Let alone persians...
I bet that in India are top males as big and strong as in africa.
