      I’d say jaguars are the ultimate cat since they can hunt on trees, land and water. They are stronger than leopards, have a stronger bite force, more muscle, more abilities and can climb just as well. And they also have no competition in their territory and can live in basically all regions

      @@rexpowercolt8216 yeah but they face too much competition from stronger predators in their region to actually be an apex predator, whereas jaguars are the apex. So, jaguars would thrive in their regions much more than leopards, and they also have the same skillset as leopards, with extra abilities such as heightened sense of sight and stronger bite force, making them the strongest pound for pound cat. Thus, although leopards are one of the top tier cats, jaguars would be the most dominant cats simply because they are leopards with heightened abilities and less harsh environments

      As I understand it, leopards are tolerated because even though they kill livestock, they also kill feral dogs. Rabies spread by these dogs is a big problem in India, and tens of thousands of people, mostly children, die horrifically from it annually. More direct methods of controlling the dogs aren't possible for political and social reasons.

    Going off the 103 amur leopards in 2018 and 120 in 2019 the population is said to be at least 180 this year meaning they are one of the few leopard subspecies on the increasing trend but since there are a lot more siberian tigers and this year there are at least 800 (exceeding the original expectation of 700) so amur leopards seem to be getting a bit more elusive because of the tigers and amur leopards were once wide spread throughout Siberia, eastern Mongolia, north east China, north and south korea but currently they are mostly found in Russia and China with a very small population in north korea

    Size in big cats is usually dependent on prey availability, size, & abundance rather than competition or land area. Nutrition seems to be more of a determining factor rather than Bergman's Rule or Insular Gigantism, which is shown very clearly by the papers you've cited. As a Zoologist, you've earned my sub, excellent presentation.
