behind the big cat's and bear's, who is the top predator?

[Pantherinae]

Yeah I'm not surprised that cougars does kill wolves. Because they are extrodanary killers, in the leopards case leopards imo has tougher opponents, it is extreamly rare they kill hyenas, but hyenas are in a different leauge and much harder to kill than a wolf, and often there are more than one they usually move in group's of 2-8 animals, I don't think they would feel very threatened by cougars neither, but leopards does avoid conflicts with wild dog packs, hyenas and lions all which could also pose a danger to a cougar aswell, I've seen a leopard also defend her kill against a slothbear and cougars against black bears. I've seen cougars chased by coyotes and wolves.. But to be honest ofcourse a cougar would defeat coyotes and also a single wolf if the cougar is big, but so could a leopard. Leopards are sometimes getting chased by wild dogs, but I've seen pictures if wild dogs hanging dead in trees. 

I would defenatly without a shadow of a doubt put the leopard as the number 4 cat, ahead of the cougar, but it's my own honest opinion  Reply
