bgomezHuge Leopard
I came across this picture on the internet and couldn't believe how big this leopard appears to be. Is this possible or do you think it is a fake. If it is real, I think I shot a baby!

Michael RobinsonEither that photo was taken in the Land of Oz, or that's a monster leopard.
Wow!

shakariMy guess is Tanzania. There's a few areas up there that produce some real mucking fonsters...... It's almost like there are two separate sub species. Large & XL.

Aaron NeilsonGuys, it NOT fake! It was shot in 2005, in the Kafue's Lunga Luswishi GMA in Zambia, PH Richard Bell-Cross. This cat is Zambia's all-time #1 leopard.
The real shame, the client just made it into a rug!!!!!

ScriptusOn account of the hernia caused by lifting the cat, the hunter wanted no further reminder of how big it was, so rug it was!

swampshooterThat's sure a monster leopard, looks like a big jaguar, size wise that is. That head is huge.
velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

larryshoresIt surely looks big. if Aaron is correct, I am sure it is.
We had one hit a bait in TZ that had a foot the size of a lioness. Damn I wanted to just see it. Sadly, it never showed in the daylight.
There are still plenty of whooping big leopards out there.
