Today morning safari... Tigress choti madhu.. Killed wild dog in Junona zone.. #TADOBA..

This video should make us all rethink claims of any Dhole pack being able to Kill an adult healthy Tiger or even a reason for them to try.

I posted this video a while back, you can see the account by Rahul there.
Choti Madhud killed the wild dog and was chasing the rest off.

@Pckts: I'm fully aware now of the impossibility to see an adult tiger to be seriously threatened by a pack of dholes. I remember only to have read during my childhood some books of the 1960s inside which it was related that some adult tigers and lions could be killed by respectively pack of dholes and pack of African wild dogs. Perhaps that was written from a period where wild canids were much more abundant than nowaday... And some furious fights were imagined between 50 wild canids against a big cat. This were just fantasies and I am sure about that now ! No problem !

Why leopards often kills wild dogs, baboons, videos are missing from youtube? I'm more than sure what leopards kills hyenas more often than people think.

That's rare, leopards and hyenas interact so often one on one and the outcome is dependent on individuals. They kill cubs pretty often I'm sure, but adults are a rarity... hyenas are also 2-3 times the size of AW and baboons. It's very different!

1 hyena on video is not a lone hyena. Lonely hyenas and wolves are way more cowardly and vulnerable then wolf/hyena from pack.

You're generalizing, I have seen multiple accounts of hyena being more dominant not to mention lone wolf predation attempts on very large prey. Because an animal is a pack animal, they are accustomed to attacking that way, that certainly doesn't mean they are cowardly when alone. In fact, my observations seem to show that pack or pride animals seem to be a little more reckless compared to a solitary hunter due to being able to rely on other members for support.

That being said, I'd be hard pressed to bet against a large prime male leopard vs a large prime female Hyena but I certainly don't think you can say one has a clear advantage over the other.
