Looks like a male Jaguar to me. 

That would be a much more realistic call than a Leopard but even that would be a Jaguar on roids.

Was there a video clip of this or just stills, just the one pic, I still smell hoax.

Some pics of it in the rush as well. Just a dog ratching about imo

Never get  pics like this or road kill in the  UK and we live in a very heavily populated country.

You and your expert friends must be supping that strong cider if you think that has the dimensions of a male leopard. 

I've been interested in big cats since I was a nipper, send your experts to my cab and I'll set them straight. 

I'll say it again, that ain't no leopard. 

 

Looks like a smooth patterdale to me

Extremely unlikely as there's always a conflict of species, there's no evidence at all to suggest leopards breed with pumas and produce fertile offspring. 

Why do they not produce fertile offspring greb?

Look up 'species versus genus' francie.  Explains it pretty clear to understand.

The zoo only disclosed the escape to the public after the leopards were spotted roaming around nearby villages.

They do, the victorians used to cross puma and leopards to produce pumards, this is one in an old black and white picture, they actually suffered with dwarfism so produced small offspring and though many were sterile some were not, look at the modern designer cats, bred with servals and domestic house cats  they are fertile and breed a second generation which is the ones you can own without a licence

Look at the tape measure in the picture, you must know how to read a tape, same dimensions, the only black leopard in the uk in captivity is a cross breed of two types of leopards and is the same size, if your going to argue at least back it up with more than I like looking at big cats on telly

Here's a pic of a big black leopard, still, nothing like the beast pictured. 

 

That is both young and most probably a female looking at it, not a good comparison at all,

Ooh, did I get it wrong G, is it cats of the same genus can produce fertile offspring?

There is no proof of puma/leopard hybrids producing offspring of their own. 

You also have the fact that no sighting in the UK has described anything like a puma/leopard hybrid.

The dimensions of that obese leopard below is nothing like the reported sighting above, just look at the massive shoulder development, wild leopards are not close to those dimensions.

You can see the mass of the thing, terrible quality or not.
