There was another video with a Leopard killing a larger Martial eagle in a tree but I didn't want to share that because it's pretty bad.
Bad?
The video doesn't show how the leopard managed to catch the eagle, as the eagle is already in the leopard's clutch before the video starts.

Never been personally witnessing fight of two animals. According to people who raised in countryside it can go both way. Yak bulls generally tend to overheat and lose during warmer periods of summer and autumn, while mostly winning in colder winters and springs

Sometimes the predator loses the battle and becomes the victim. This series shows a San Diego Alligator Lizard biting onto the neck of a lizard-eating California Striped Racer. After the lizard finally let go, the snake quickly raced up a steep 15 foot high cliff up into some branches

Mole snake v jackal
Quote:
 
This Black-jacked jackal attacked this mole snake presumably to eat it but as can be seen in the left-hand photo, the snake manage to bite the jackal. After that the jackal had anothe go at subduing it - don't know if it eventually managed to kill it and eat it. Photographed in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park by Lorinda Steenkamp ©.

Huge Croc against huge male leopard. Kenya This leopard has some set of huge balls :D

Posted Image

There was an exciting sighting recently when two crocodile were seen with the carcass of a zebra on the bank of the Mara River. The smaller of the two crocodile quickly receded back into the river and as soon as it had gone a male leopard then materialised from the long grass on the bank above and started to compete with the one large crocodile for the meal. The leopard tugged away and snarled, all the time the crocodile did not give in, after a few minutes, only when the Leopard released his grip the crocodile swung around and took the complete remains of the Zebra back into the river. The leopard appeared shocked that the crocodile moved very quickly complete with meal. Photo courtesy of Governors Il Moran Camp Guest John Lyall. — bij Governors Il Moran Camp.

Any more info on this pic? I didn't think that a zoo would let two different carnivorous species be in the same enclosure, especially when both animals have a known tendency to be hostile towards other felids. On a side note, judging by comparative head size, the cougar would be a good deal heavier than the leopard.

Looks like a male puma with a leopardess or a young male leopard, hard to say the subpecie with this shot.
Maybe it is in refuge who sometimes make absurd mix.

Yeah, I was thinking that it was a leopardess myself.

Really cool find Marc! I just came across a very similar sighting from South Luangwa NP, Zambia.

One Eyed Male Leopard – proving he’s still boss!

"But then one of our well known male leopards changed the game……this big male only has one eye and is often seen mating with various females in the area (a few years ago we saw him with two different females in consecutive days!!). One-eye decided he fancied a bit of the crocodile’s mid-morning feast……he slowly crept towards the crocodiles and tried to steal the food out of their very jaws. Alas he failed and snuck off to sit under the shade while he worked on his tactics. Another three attempts were made to sneak up on the crocs and steal the food – each attack from a different angle and but he was never quite fast enough. Finally he had to give up…all the food had gone."

No, I dont know the details, but I dare say they are just playing - they can be friends in captivity.

Or maybe the Cougar is just bigger, because cougars are naturally bigger.
