Excellent account and thanks for it Scott.


Imagine lifting [some percentage] of your own and leaping onto a tree. Leopards are immensely underrated Who was the author, by the way?

You can obtain most of the info from this book from Google books.

Concerning trying to imagine what its like to lift a weight some equal to your own up a tree.......

It was a good read.

Btw any info on the leopard resting near the injured male lion> You post the picture and said you might be able to find the rest of the account?

In Africa one hyena will frequently track a leopard and after the leopard has killed something it will fight the leopard off the carcass and steal its food. This way it does not need to expend energy hunting and possibly failing.

The smallest injury to a leopard could result in it not being able to hunt and dying and the leopard knows this and will not risk injury. With the hyena back at the clan kills by the group have already been made and it just needs to fight its way in for a share of meat. A slight injury to a hyena is not as life-threatening as it is for a leopard but in some rare cases some of the most aggressive leopards don't tolerate any intruder to steal his meal.

A hyena stands no chance in hell against A mature Male Leopard. None, zip, notta, zero percent chance to defeat a mature male leopard in a real fight.

A male lion would have his hands full and get turned into scarface in a fight with a mature male leopard. Leopards are the most underrated animal in the world, period.

Just ask this male lion that caught an injured Male Leopard out in the open and was torn up by the leopard. ScottWolverine could fill you in on the rest of the account.

There have been cases I swear to you of Leopards taking small lionesses and eating them.

Honestly I swear to you, a 175 to 225 lb Male Leopard I'd take over a lioness 1 on 1 in a fight. Have everytime, but since the lions always going to be with it's pride 10 + deep, you rarely get the chance to see that, though male leopards take wondering juveniles that wonder away fromt the pride.

I agree with that statement, a male leopard around 150lb - 225lb can easily kill a lioness and even a 300lb male lion.

over all lions are probably the weakest amongst the big cats.


Strongest , pound for pound is the Jaguar followed by tiger, cougar , leopards & then the lions.

Believe me no cat on earth would want to mess with a jaguar at same size, they are extremely powerful.

You sure lions are stronger than cheetahs lb for Lb?

one word to describe this post. BULLSHIT

Lions are the weakest of the big cats lb for lb.

An a Large Male Leopard would kill a lioness say from waza park easily.

A hyena has more to fear from a large male leopard, then a female lion.

Perrualt Male Leopards kill hyenas. When a Large male wants to kill a hyena it will period. We're not talking about a 90 female leopard.

We are talking about a 200 or so Large Male Leopard.

2 and a 3 year old lions have been taken, and eaten by male leopards.

In captivity Leoaprs exceed 300 lbs. I've seen in captivity, Leopards larger than male lions. Though that's captivity, different story.

In captivity cougars have beaten lions.

I've provided an account in which a Male lion caught a male leopard that had been injured out in the open. The lion basically ambushed the leopard you can ask Scottwolverine, and the lion and leopard fought until both were exhausted and both amazingly started resting amazingly feet apart from each other.

Large Male Leopards down adult wildebeest and adult zebras no problem.

Infact I'll say the Large Male Leopards are probably the best hunters in Africa. Not female leopards because they can't bring down half of what the large males can.


So to your question.

Yes Indeed a large Male Leopard 175 to 235 lb range can beat a female lion 1 on 1.

An Large Male Leopards have taken juvenile lions.


1 on 1 is a different story, leopards will majority of the time flee instinctually, just like lions from masai warriors.

But not always, Like eye of the leopard, some Large Male Leopards are a differen't story. Large Male Leopards lb for lb amaze me.
