Lethal combats in the forest among wild western gorillas

www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(24)00658-8?uuid=uuid%3A10603d64-59d0-4401-b098-dc049de34fd4

This study briefly mentioned that leopards can puncture chimp lungs with their claws. This is the first time I've heard of a cat doing this. Looks like that adds more credence to the idea that apes have thinner skin than most mammals.

Similarly, wild chimpanzees attacked by leopards also had several claw stripes covering their trunk, particularly on the belly and perforations into the lungs.99 This is likely because leopards immobilize victims by holding them with claws
