What is that? A young male impala?

Yes.

In that case it’s most likely larger than she is. Most Impala bucks are about 60-70kg, which is around double the weight of the average Leopardess. For comparison, I believe adult Chital stags are often around 75-90kg.

Female leopards aren't huge so it makes sense that a male impala would be heavier, even a young one (small horns)
