any proof they cannot do it face to face? leopards are known to kill crocodiles and gorillas.   1: Do they kill crocodiles over 3 times their size that are healthy and willing to fight back? Unless they do, that is a bad analogy 2: A gorilla has next to no chance against a leopard at parity, while a pygmy hippo has a good chance. Don't think I need to say why 1:it does not matter if they are willing too fight back , it still shows they can do such a feat 2:it does , but this was a eastern gorilla , a silverback gorilla would make short work of a any leopard |

Hippos have a good chance at parity |

Hippos have a good chance at parity 1: i do not really get that one size 2:a maybe so but i do not see how that is relevent to the cougar and the pygmy hippo 1: This hippo is over 3 times bigger, at full strength, and willing to fight until the end, whereas I don't think any of that applies to the crocodile. Therefore, the leopard killing the crocodile is a bad representation of this matchup 2: I meant using killed gorillas is not a good analogy because they need their size, but the hippo doesn't |

I suppose we can't come to an agreement if that's the case. Although, great debate rock! It was quite fun, we both did well, and I hope we can have another soon |
