a harsh contrast between dogs and cats, like apple vs. samsung is the worst thing you can do to not have an objective idea of the ability of these animals. |

I've seen them at Pittsburgh zoo, they are rather large, those are the wild dogs that killed that child that fell in. Now I believe they have cheetahs again. |

Felines, sharks, birds, arthropods

Ones I have seen in zoos are quite large and muscular, they have quite thick necks as well. |

I don't believe a mature-experienced tom leopard would have suffered the same fate... I aslo have a hard time seeing AWD confront a lion, unless the numerical advantage was so high that each individual dog was experiencing less risk... |

Wild dogs are extremly agressive respect wolves for example, and they have "bigger balls". a pack of 7 grown wild dogs who attack like pitbulls, i really dont know how many male leopards can resist it... After all, this is nature... the more biger leopards obviously are much stronger than x wild dogs but this is nature, sometimes dogs can kill leopards, sometimes leopards can kill wild dogs... canids are experts in endurance and intelligence. Felids are experts in brutal strength and killing determination. |

Felines are more intelligent too. It take more intelligence to hunt and survive whtout the help of the pack... |

Not at all. They just have different life styles. In fact it's safer to keep your young in a pack for survival, which is the most important thing. To preserve the species. Having bravery means Jack when a bear kills you and your cubs die of starvation. Not only that but wolves have larger brains and have solved far more complex puzzles than cougars. And won't even start on dogs. |

cats are not intelligenter than dogs and dogs are not intelligenter than cats. You found in google thousand of opposite links. Cats can count..cat's are able to open doors..dogs can do other things. It's a comparison of apples and oranges Edited by kuri, May 19 2014, 11:04 PM.

Dogs are intelligenter than cats... so far.. And dont discuss that, cause is obvious... Social habits make you intelligenter, mos intelligent animals of the earth live in social groups, apes, dolphins, killer whales, wolves, hyaenas... etc. Lions are intelligent, but less... Remember yotes tactics to confuse the dogs to pull them into their packs behind the bushes etc... Sorry for cat lovers, but they cant have everthing... Edited by Nordred, May 24 2014, 10:15 PM.

some of these comments, oh my god.. anyway "While guiding a safari in the Luangwa Valley with Robin Pope Safaris I found a pack of six wild dogs sitting in the grass on the side of the road. They were fairly skinny so I told the guests that if we stayed with them I was certain they would attempt to hunt. A few moments later a small herd of elephants came through the bush and chased the dogs from their resting place. After a few stretches and some play fighting, they were off down the road. The hunt was on. We followed the dogs for over an hour. First they had a go at two large warthogs. However, the warthogs were having none of this and saw the dogs off with ease. They then headed through areas that are usually teaming with impala, but there were no impala to be seen. They then attempted to look for bushbuck in thicker vegetation – a hunting method that required one dog to go into the dense thickets and try to find something to flush out towards the waiting packed. However, no more luck was had. Coming to another fairly large open area they were in luck and took off after a large herd of impala. The impala ran in all directions, trying to escape the dogs and we followed where we could. Suddenly the pack burst through a gap in the bush, hot on the heels of a female impala. The impala, in a panicked attempt to escape the dogs, jumped into a thicket, bleating loudly. As the impala exited the thicket on the other side, the dogs took it down.  The panicked bleating of the impala roused the attention of a male leopard that came out to see if he could get a free meal. [/img]http://africageographic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/leopard-luangwa.jpg[/img] The leopard looked on with interest at the feeding frenzy until one of the dogs noticed the intruder and took exception to his presence!  Alerting the rest of the pack, a short standoff took place before the leopard realised that this was not a fight he could win and turned tail!   The dogs pursued, with a few well aimed nips to the leopard’s rear before it sought the safety of a nearby tree.  Satisfied with their success, the wild dogs returned to their meal."  http://africageographic.com/blog/wild-dogs-vs-leopard/#sthash.JuAwfPVY.dpuf Edited by Ceratodromeus, Apr 22 2016, 01:36 PM.
