According to wikipedia a cheetah weighs between 21 - 72 kg. Is that the weights from its childhood also that is included or adulthood only

Maybe it's related to the foodsource.

Something else from the wikipedia: The smallest cheetahs have been reported from the Sahara, northeastern Africa and Iran.

Adult humans range from less than 100 pounds to over 300 pounds.

Presumably a combination of both.

Males are substantially bigger than females. The range would be from the smallest females to the biggest males. Also, the size of cats varies quite a bit by area, with available food supplies. Leopards go from 28 to 90 kg. I think the smallest leopards are in the Arabian Peninsula where presumably game is scarcer.

There have been different measurements in different studies which show marked differences but they happened at very different times and  not necessarily from a large sample size. Another complicating factor is that some measurement were taken from captivity were animals often are in poor conditions.

However, larger population surveys show no significant differences between regions and the average weight of males is around 46 kg and of females roughly 37. Dickman and Marker showed weight of males ranging from 32-64 and of females from 26-51 kg.
