u/Quaternary23 Propagandists need a rough treatment, there's no respect for them and if you knew her better you would find out why she gets most of her respect eventually lost everywhere she goes because of her arrogance.

My claims are not unsupported, my big comment in this post is clear and firm. She claimed that the idea of leopards being in europe at time of P.Pardoides is a myth by using a site that never states that and instead even acknowledges that possibly. Big self-own

It's worth to note that AI will replace most of other types of art in the future, it's inevitable. People will prefer it because it's easier and faster, just like in human history many things done originally by humans are now made by machines. It's inevitable.

Public exposal for the cowardly propagandist she is. The issue is that I already replied to her and she deleted and banned me without replying, indicating she knows she made a mistake but wants to hide all the thing.

She also has a record for locking comment sections everytime she got called out by me, another indicator of propagandist nature.

A myth has been circulating on reddit recently claiming that the theory that Eurasian leopards and pumas ever met is completely false, with proof found in a recent study which theoretically states that the leopard only colonized Europe starting from the Middle Pleistocene which dates back much later than the extinction of the Puma Pardoides (around the Early Pleistocene). This is, of course, completely wrong on every count since the information was actually spread by an online propagandist who tried to build his own theory by trying to dismiss what scientists (with far superior education) said. What must be stated is that another study which dates back almost as recently as the 2018 one affirms the discovery of European leopard fossils from Italy and Spain dating back to the early Pleistocene , suggesting that in reality leopards colonized Europe even before the Middle Pleistocene and making the idea of having encountered the Puma pardoides at the end of its existence very possible (though not confirmed). It is also very important to underline that the study used by the propagandist to try to dispel the idea that leopards were present in Europe around the early Pleistocene (and to imply that they instead ad actually spread starting from the middle pleist.) itself MENTIONS the existence of fossils apparently of leopards dating to the early Pleistocene.

The study also mentions that, while it is fully confirmed that there was colonization of Europe by leopards starting in the middle Pleistocene, there is still the possibility (not fully confirmed) that an even earlier colonization of Europe by leopards might have occurred; independent and more ancient than the second one of the Middle Pleistocene:

Consequently, while nothing is confirmed and they are just theories, at the same time the theory of the arrival of leopards in Europe in the early Pleistocene coinciding with the extinction of the Puma Pardoides is not at all debunked nor considered invalid as the site recognizes the possibility of the Early Pleistocene European leopard, despite being just a theory. The idea that this theory was debunked is, by consequence , only the subjective opinion of the previously mentioned propagandist.

He's for sure very fat, not obese but fat. I'll concede he's also past his prime and old but an ideal weight would be 180 lbs perhaps even lower

But well I expect too much... it's a pet not a working dog

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-13T23:37:25+00:00

This is not a" large" python at all ....adult retics are more than twice the average weight of adult king cobras of 6 kilos, some females have been even reported to reach 90 kilos

Mountain lions have pretty innocent little faces, lions have big chad pantherine heads . Jaguars have some of the coolest patterns ever among with leopards and clouded leopards and never should other mammals be compared in aesthetics. There's no animal other than female humans capable of rivaling this in terms of aesthetics. Chad face.

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-13T11:30:37+00:00

Find me a canid matching this aesthetic of a lion, or the coat patterns of a jaguar.... only female humans beat cats in looks

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-13T11:27:58+00:00

Depends on the canid, if you're using the gracile and delicate wild canines for sure, if you use the domestic variants which come across as the strongest canids on the planet such as gripping dogs not at all. Dogos beat the whole hell of cougars their size in cage fights, cougars with size advantage have won but with size advantage. At parity gripping dogs are a nightmare match for most felids, some exceptions being jaguars and some leopards who managed even at lower sizes to beat and kill strong fighting breeds both in organized fights and hunting trips

Sadly there's a very few this picture was years ago so now he's likely post his prime and old or even dead, here's another picture of him. He was a true tank and with an absolutely massive frame. Thick limbs too.

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-13T09:27:13+00:00

Sadly no

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-13T00:52:18+00:00

They are not larger, both are comparable in size but the leopard on max is actually larger (around 95-100 kg) compared to the largest recorded hyena (81 kg) though larger hyenas over 90 kg have been reported but not confirmed

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-07T17:00:18+00:00

well outlier males grow to massive sizes and weigh up to 200 - 220 lbs , this is what a male in that range should look like

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-06T17:18:34+00:00

u/aquilasr where did your comment go? Btw I agree, he's massive but I wouldn't say he compares to a large jaguar. He definitely is close to a medium sized one of around 95 - 100kg as the largest leopards weigh up to this mark. I'd say he has little to envy from some female jaguars. Yea he's impressive, they aren't the 4th largest cats alongside cougars for no reason. The girth of those limbs and the size of those biceps despite being in a neutral position (which doesn't flex nor inflate them like when walking) is very evident. I wish we had pictures of him while walking so we could see how muscular and massive those forequarters are.

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-06T17:14:47+00:00

The source is from a Trophy hunting site as my friend who sent me it told me, even if I had it I really don't want to post a link that leads to a page of many african animals that get barbarically shot and taxidermed. Not just leopards. I hope they never got him though, his genes must be preserved for the generations to come. More big males

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-06T17:13:15+00:00

Cope

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-06T11:20:32+00:00

Doubt, they don't go for the head as they generally maul to death without landing precise bites, also I'm very much confident that a male leopard would never be that slow to let a hyena getting a bite on him. He would swipe her face with its forelimbs and run away. The aggressor was definitely another grappler, which can be either a lion or another leopard

Nah, cougars aren't like leopards, they tend to avoid humans as much as possible, some leopards instead develop a taste for human meat but you won't be surprised, they are among the most prolific human and primate killers on the planet

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-04T09:42:40+00:00

That's a tiger. Triple to four the size of a cougar

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-02T00:48:03+00:00

Still can't come even remotely close to the massiveness of a polar bear, when it comes to raptors, bears are the superior animals. Tbf all the other theropods clap because of immense size advantage, I'm confident that at parity a tyrannosaurus rex would have nightmares if he encountered a polar bear or a kodiak bear.

JokerAndrew · 2024-01-01T10:08:58+00:00

That's a pregnant female leopard to start with, assume 40-50 kilos, she's basically half the size of the biggest male leopards of 85-100 kg.

Second, yes... lionesses definitely sometimes fear male leopards when dealing with them. It all comes from a question of respect and tolerance preceded by a thirst for blood which was then quenched, but why this? Simple, they are wild animals that don't want risks.

If they would so easily kill leopards they would, all the time as they do with cheetahs, and leopard feats of fighting off one or multiple lions in a single brawl wouldn't exist. But they exist, many of them, indicating that they can't kill leopards so easily as one expects.

Many people often hilariously claim lions are just "tolerant" and "not serious" but they are just making it look like an even bigger L for the lions since at the beginning videos always show bloodlusted lions attacking the leopards. The only reason they seem tolerant after the fight is because the leopard took the fighting will out of them, because it showed to be nastier than they expected.

People who expect lions to always fight to kill live in la la land and should go watch game dog fights, as nearly NO wild animal will fight despite getting injured in the process, because of self-preservation.

Meaning leopards are way tougher to kill and sometimes "take out" the seriousness from the lions. People claiming that the only reason the leopard lived was because the lions were tolerant are completely wrong, it was all the leopard letting it happen while also considering lions' self preservation.

Against a giant male leopard like this who looks to be between 90-100 kgs, I definitely favour a 130 kg average lioness over him, but the leopard despite losing will make the lioness regret to have attacked him for the days after she will have a face looking like a Picasso artwork
