Shortly before arriving at the farm gate, we came across a fresh leopard kill of two wild dogs. One was still quivering and taking it's last few breaths of life. Colin got out of the truck to investigate but quickly got back in after seeing the leopard tracks. Wild dogs and leopards are competing predators and will often kill each other. This time the two wild dogs were no match for the leopard and the fight only lasted a few seconds. http://yukoneagleair.blogspot.ru/2011_07_01_archive.html

Aren't wild dogs always together though? I wouldn't be surprised if a leopard fended off an attack from their pack.

And I agree, a leopard wouldn't even dare to attack a pack of at least six wild dogs.

Some times they aren't together, but mostly because a member gets lost and can't find the pack
