This morning, I have researched a large number of sites; searching for an accurate weight for the giant panda; an actual weighing. I'm sure that with such a high profile animal as the giant panda, the heaviest known wild specimen is well known within the biology community. From site-to-site, I am finding a rather large variety of numbers.

Snow Leopard snowleopard.org/did-the-dude-set-a-snow-leopard-world-record/ He weighed 53.8 kg, which is almost 8 kg more than the previous biggest male recorded. His scientific ID is M15 (the 15th male in our study), but we’ve nicknamed him The Dude at first. When we caught him, he had a huge belly full of meat. He must have taken down and devoured an ibex shortly before. When he isn’t full of ibex, I’d estimate that he weighs around 52kg. As far as we know this is the biggest snow leopard ever caught and weighed – the Dude might be a World Record holder. |

brobear a lion enthusiast replied to one of YT posts that was posted a year ago, which was your weight collection for lions/tigers, they had a few questions, so I decided to show their questions to you. Here’s my post ibb.co/yg7kTcpibb.co/6YfSkBdThere question ibb.co/6YfSkBd

Stan at 810 kgs seems to be more scientifically verified. That 2210 pound polar bear is probably trophy hunter exaggeration.

Reply #12/Namibia lion 260 kg or 573.20 pounds. This is a seriously huge lion.
Bengal tiger 272 kg or 599.66 pounds. These are the confirmed record-sized lion and tiger (wild).

Wasn't the largest leopard like 96kg from South Africa? 64kg is not the limit for leopards..they are smaller than jaguars who can reach way above 100kg but still.
