The Wild Life Conservation Department is probing the death of a seven-feet male leopard in the Deltota, Lulakanda area.

Assistant Forest Range officer G R Dharmarathna told the Daily Mirror that the leopard was found dead on Monday evening following information provided by resident to the area wild life office.

An official from the Wild Life Conservation Department said the carcass of the leopard was handed over to the Peradeniya veterinary surgeon for a postmortem.

He said the reason for the leopard’s death had not been established so far.

The Sri Lankan leopard is a subspecies of leopards native to Sri Lanka that was first described in 1956 by the Sri Lankan zoologist Deraniyagala.

The leopard was listed as an Endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List in 2008 is also an offense to kill, trade or harm a leopard under the Wildlife Act. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

This is an high specialized topic.
Over the last 10 years, people like Marc, Chui, Man eater, others and myself, have taken the time to work, study, and personal life, to search the most scientifically possible elements about weight and leopard size.
Now anyone who wants to discuss and debate here is kind enough to document a decent on the size of leopards and other animals for possible comparison.. before intervening.
Made this, have fun.

Let's not get carried away now. We're just a bunch of internet enthusiasts who really like leopards.


Here's a male leopard with a female in Yala, Sri Lanka. This guy looks like he's been in a few brawls.

May be a misprint 125 kg, instead 125 pounds?

Senior Hulk of Kabini - Leopard, Kabini | Feb 2016


"He came He saw He conquered our Hearts".. Lots of Love

Despite being the smallest of the big cats, he looked a fit fight for the largest Cat. Well built he looked beautiful with his distinctive black spots in contrast to his pale background coat. He walked across with such great attitude, it was a sight to experience & lots of ‪#‎Respect‬.
