Here is a Leopard with what seems to be Reticulated Python.  Not sure how accurate it is considering it was from a 1937 Chicago Newspaper. |

not sure why you think a chicago newspaper from the 30s was reputable in the first place

..and why it wouldn't be?
Are you implying photographs from the '30s are not legit?

..and why it wouldn't be? Are you implying photographs from the '30s are not legit? why would you rely on anything from 90 years ago for your argument? Let alone a single photograph? And anyway, all you need to know is the notoriously staged photographs of frank buck to know relying on these very old photographs is not reliable Nor a strong point for any argument. Given your poor response(s) in the leopard v komodo dragon thread, i expected this kind of response from you. |

This photo matches with modern accounts of Leopards requiring to bite the head of the Python.
It may be staged, but it matches the modern day accounts of Leopards killing Pythons often.

Thanks for the pic, and you are correct in your comments above. You posted reasonable caveats as to the veracity of the photo, so I'm not sure why you are receiving any criticism. The pic is clearly relevant. Credible? That's a totally different issue. |

ultimatium35 If you know of credible modern accounts of something happening (in this case, leopards beating large constrictors), then just post those (like the link I've posted below). Alternatively, if you really feel the need to have that old photo as part of your body of evidence (despite any questions surrounding its credibility), such accounts would, if anything, buttress its veracity and make your argument stronger. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7697173/Python-skull-crushed-leopard-tried-attack.htmlThat said I'm no constrictor expert.

That's a totally different issue. Credibility was clearly the issue i was talking about to begin with. |

My comments in that thread were actually the only pieces of sanity and valid arguing among the typical pile of reality distorted absurdity created by reptile fanatics. I said what there is to be said, and left as to not waste any more of my time with you people. |

My comments in that thread were actually the only pieces of sanity and valid arguing among the typical pile of reality distorted absurdity created by reptile fanatics.The black bolded text is a direct contradiction of the red bolded text. I am really not surprised at all by the laughably childish rhetoric of deeming others as "reptile fanatics", at an attempted discrediting of their actually reasonable statements in that thread; by "their", i of course mean mine. I like reptiles, i am also a huge admirer of pantherine and other wild cats, sharks, eels, wild canids, a myriad of insects, etc. Now, if you were replying to a comment of mine from 2014-2016 you might very well have a good point of calling me a "reptile fanatic", but in case you missed the year, it is 2020. Your childish mindset (circa 2012?) really does throw a wet blanket on this forum. What a laughably moronic statement you just chose to reply with. Good lord. I will give you a really great tip in debate, because you've now repeated the same mistake in this thread as you did in that one; before going to the ridiculous rhetoric of "heh ur a fanboy", you might want to try and refute the central point. This might be a good visual for you to use, before you reply to me ever again. Because, frankly, that was atrocious.  |

if either one uses its finishing move it’s game over. A large python could easily strangle very large animals to death like buffalos if they were to wrap around the animals neck. Even smallish snakes can kill a person by strangulation... a snake charmer in India was choked to death a by a python that would have been way too small to constrict him in the normal way (ie around the chest). The leopard definitely has a chance to kill the python. This is of course assuming the animals are fighting and not a predator prey thing as whilst a leopard may see the python as prey but prob not the other way around unless we talking leopard cubs... a python would have to be enormous to try its luck eating a full grown male leopard. There is a reason why they (the python) don’t see ppl as prey.
