Regardless of my first comment.....lions do not regularly kill adult leopards and you know this to be true....you are just being salty as there are so many videos and clips of leopards defending themselves from the much larger cat. Not that you will admit it. |

Lions regularly kill adult Leopards: What dont understand about evidence like this:? "Lions pose a very real threat to leopards. In fact, the Xidulu female leopard was recently killed by lions, and I’ve personally seen the Tsalala Pride chase leopards such as the Camp Pan and Marthly males in the past. This particular pride were responsible for killing the Dudley Riverbank 5:5 male, in all likelihood the Tutlwa female and possibly even a few unconfirmed individuals to add to that list too. The Nstevu Pride mauled the 4:4 male and he eventually died as a result of the injuries sustained during the fight. So despite this being an amazing scene to witness, we all breathed a huge sigh of relief when the Nanga female and her cub managed to escape the encounter unscathed." http://blog.londolozi.com/2017/06/10/lionesses-chase-leopard-off-kill/ ^ They were all adult Leopards killed. Dont pretend you think you know better than those in the field. Learn from them, most of them killed were by 1 pride of Lionesses. Your pretty little cats with their pretty little spots can be killed by superior cats. Its the law of nature. And that is what happens - Lions kill adult Leopards. Leopards kill smaller cats. Deal with it. And if it still causes you so much pain and angst, just remember, at least it wasnt a canine killing your precious leopard. Edited by Taipan, Apr 28 2018, 12:13 AM.

A Ximhungwe lioness shows great parenting skills when she takes food (an impala she stole from a leopard) to her cubs, the sons of the notorious Mapogo coalition of lions. The lioness unfortunately died after getting caught in a snare and the cubs struggled to get back into the pride. One was killed by the Dewane male leopard and the other, despite Mr T Mapogo protecting him, didn't get enough food from the pride and died. You can see the cubs @2:30 Edited by Luipaard, Apr 28 2018, 11:09 AM.

Well leopards are opportunistic animals and will take out competition whenever possible, just like any other predator does. My guess is that the cub wandered alone and the leopard just took advantage of it.

I was about to post it Incredible how agressive AND defensive she is at the same time. The lioness knew she had to back off and move on. |

"Another highlight for the month was a unique interaction between a lioness and two leopards, which was witnessed by a few lucky guests. The leopard duo was feasting on a zebra which had died of natural causes when an unaware impala ram came running past. This opportunity was too good to pass up and one of the leopards immediately pounced onto the impala, ending his journey right there. Then, as the leopards finished feeding on the zebra and started to feed on the impala, a lioness suddenly started to make her way towards the remains of the zebra carcass. The leopards noticed the approaching lion and moved the impala carcass further away, out of sight of the lioness. Once the lioness started to feed on the zebra, the guests could see both predator species feeding from where they were sitting." https://www.wilderness-safaris.com/blog/posts/little-tubu-november-2013 "A male leopard was sighted close to Kapinga 'Harbour' one evening and the following morning again close to the central helipad on a reedbuck kill. As guests watched, the Busanga Pride arrived and one of the male lions chased the leopard onto a large termite mound, from which point he retreated straight up a large appleleaf tree. The leopard stayed in the tree for a few minutes but then in a very surprising move came down the tree straight to where the large male lion was waiting! A thrilling fight then took place, which ended with the leopard retreating up the tree again. The rest of the lion pride had by now joined the male under the tree. At this point the leopard took another leap from the tree - straight into the lion pride. Once again a fight ensued with a lioness coming out looking very bloody and scratched. The leopard then lay low in some bushes under the mound before finally sneaking away from the lions. One very angry male leopard vs. lion pride: score 1 - 0." https://www.wilderness-safaris.com/blog/posts/kapinga-camp-newsletter-july-2008 Edited by Luipaard, Jun 3 2018, 04:51 AM.

dear gawd...in this day & age, how do these guides not have cameras with them, ready to roll, @ virtually all times? A male Leopard confronting a male lion, & actually engaging it?!? Id pay top dollar to see that I can't believe it happened-& that I won't ever get to see it!!! Name any other solitary predator that would do something like this!!! Leopards are simply awe inspiring... Edited by Fang Fatalis, Jun 3 2018, 03:17 PM.
