Know this thread is a few months old, but just looked at the chart in the link, my leopard weighs around 410grams, that puts him at around 36 years old? Ive read on here of people with leopars into the KG's at ages of around 3etc....

Am i missing something or just getting confused

Just getting confused: 410 grams correlates with 2 years and 36 weeks!!!!

Yeah bottom line work's in years and week's as a guide only. Yours at nearly half kilo at about over 2 and half year old is not bad, at an estimate. Growth spurt's seem to be the norm here with Leopards.

Sorry guys, been on holiday in Kenya, searched for a wild Leopard Tortoise in Tsavo East where they have them but to no avail, guide couldnt understand why i was more interested in a tortoise than the lions!!

Anyway, my tired mistake, the little man weighs 1.4kgs not 0.4kgs, how old does that make him? We were told he was around 4 years old!! Well actually he's just passed 1.5kg
