Where are these reports of leopards killing male lions and male tigers? i know that i read about one about a tiger (don't remember its sex) getting into a scrap with a leopard at a zoo and both ended up dying of their injuries...i guess all these were accounts involving captive animals? i suppose that this maybe closer than cougar vs wolf since hyenas can take alot of effort to kill, even by lions. I also would like to read that. I read a while ago that an old tiger got in a fight with a leopard and the leopard actually killed the tiger, but it eventually died of its injuries. I never have seen one about a lion though. |

 This large male leopard and tiger/tigress died in a fight Louis Roth Had a male leopard kill a tiger as well. In my experience i have seen all theories exploded. Tigers have killed lions, lions have killed polar bears, a small leopard has killed a large tiger. usually a polar bear can kill any of the big cats, but i have seen a lion kill a polar bear", Louis Roth, forty years with jungle killers, page 204-205 - Louis Roth   another account of hyennas being vulnerable to large male leopards.This one killed 2  There are a couple more lions being killed by leopards as well. |

There was an account of a Leopard apparently quickly killing a Lion in a cage. |

It was apparently a young female and a large male leopard, but I am not positive on the exact translation.

"A tiger came out first, and was bagged, shortly afterwards a panther came out and received a flesh wound to the neck, after which it disappeared into a deep cave. This was surrounded; and they soon heard the noise of a fight going on inside. The shikaries said that there was tiger in the cave which was killing the panther; the officers tried for half an hour to dislodge the animals by firing rifles and throwing firecrackers into the cave but without success. So leaving the officer who had wounded the panther on guard, the other two went off to secure the dead tiger. Shortly afterwards a small hyena came out and was shot. The hyena was a female about 4 feet 6 inches in length and was badly scratched about the face but otherwise uninjured. Next morning on return to the cave a female panther, about 5 feet 10 inches, was found lying just outside the cave stone dead. On examination it was found she had a fresh bullet wound in the neck, which was not sufficient to kill her, but she had been bitten in two places by the hyena, firstly through her loins, secondly through the kidneys at the same time injuring the spine, and there is little doubt that the panther died from these injuries as the flesh wound in the neck was not nearly severe enough to cause its death, although it might have done so in a few days if mortification set in."
From Vita.

Tbh I think this will most likely go either way either way.
Just kidding. I think the leopard would likely win more often than not at parity. I still think it's a close fight.

This isn't nearly the mismatch some people here are making it out to be, but I do favor the leopard 60/40

This isn't nearly the mismatch some people here are making it out to be, but I do favor the leopard 60/40 this is very close because hyenas have very good durabillty and i cannot see how the leopard can kill it with its rather weak bite without getting tired , but it would still win IMO but if the hyena can take all the attacks and wait for the leopard to get tired it can finish it off and then win , in nature , leopards tend to avoid hyenas because hyenas are too dangrous to take on and can injure them and if the leopard is injured it cannot hunt and it will starve and die. |

Yeah you hit the nail on the head rock. Almost a perfect analogy

Interesting to see this male leopard, who looks old and skinny, drive off a hyena and kill and consume a subadult cub. From Kruger Park. The video claims the fleeing hyena is the mother, but I don't see how they could know that. It's hard to say just how big the fleeing hyena is, although it almost certainly is not a cub.

I vote for the leopard winning this fight against the spotted hyena, as it can grapple easier and may be heavier.

elosha11, that hyena looks to be at a large (~30%) mass disadvantage against the leopard 6f5e4d, AFAIK, they weigh about the same - African leopards are ~55 kg while spotted hyenas are 50-60 kg
