Maybe it's different cheetahs and warthogs...

Mountain lion vs woodchuck, raccoon, beaver, american badger, coyote, bobcat, canadian lynx
Cougar / cheetah is most weak big cat (cats larger than lynx) Puma or Mountain Lion, Cheetah and Jaguarundi of the Puma lineage belong to the subfamily Felinae of Felidae Bobcat vs Cougar Coyote vs Cougar Big cougar & wolf / female cougar & bobcat  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Mizak says he vividly recalls "the first initial hit" as the two predators squared off, up to "the crunch of the spine" when the cougar finally killed the wolf. "I relive it still," he said. He says the wolf had the advantage early in the fight, when each animal had the other locked in its jaws. He admits he may have influenced the fight when he made a move that startled the wolf, causing it to flee. "Then the wolf decided to let go and the cougar made one leap and nailed the wolf," Mizak said.  *This image is copyright of its original author Young cougar vs Coyote

 Many other cases of inter-specific competition involving lions have also been recorded. Along the Lower Sabi Road a lioness was seen chasing a hyaena for almost 100 yards before catching it and proceeding to devour it. The hyaena was pursued for no apparent reason — there being no kill, nor was it worrying the lion. Although hyaenas are often killed by lions when mobbing a feeding pride they are rarely eaten in such situations. Several years ago a cheetah was cornered by two lionesses along the Nahpe Road and severely mauled before it managed to escape. During the period under discussion lions were reported to have killed 39 hyaenas, 6 leopards, 2 cheetahs, 12 iackals, 2 civet cats, 2 honey badgers, 1 caracal and two crocodiles. Many of these victims were partially eaten. Since the proclamation in 1898 of the original Sabi Reserve however, only about a dozen cases of man-eating have been recorded in the area that comprises the present Kruger Park. Other carnivores are also fair game to leopards. While lions may invest a great deal of energy in killing fellow predators, their motivation seems more to eliminate competition than to acquire food, and they frequently leave such kills untouched. Leopards, however, have been recorded killing and eating everything from dwarf mongooses to adult spotted hyaenas. One well-observed Ngorongoro Crater leopard killed and ate 11 jackals in less than a month, which suggests that small canids may be preferred prey when abundant, and there is considerable truth in the belief that leopards are partial to dogs. Such unusual preferences may vary from region to region. In arid north-eastern Namibia, researcher Flip Stander discovered adult cheetahs were sometimes killed as prey by leopards, a remarkable occurrence also recently observed by tourists in the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa. Yet in the comparitively lush bushveld of northern KwaZulu-Natal, I saw three cases of leopards killing cheetahs and leaving the carcasses untouched. Perhaps where the density of more 'typical' prey species is low - such as in desert regions - leopards cannot afford to be choosy and are more likely to eat the meat of other predators. Young or female leopard vs 5 hyenas  *This image is copyright of its original author "It was first light as we left Mombo camp, within five minitues we saw Hyenas running from all directions. Our guide Simon shouted 'Leopard in a tree' but as we approached he jumped down. Who knows why? maybe he thought there was only one Hyena, BIG mistake! before long he was surrounded by 5 blocking his escape to a nearby tree. They attacked him from all sides (note the one on the right has a firm hold)he was rolling on his back slashing with all feet. The sounds were horrific and there were tears from the ladies in our vehicle,clouds of dust everywhere.They dragged him into a bush and before long all went quiet, we feared the worst,reminding me of thugs beating up a helpless guy in a back alley. After a while the Leopard appeared slowly edging away from the bush again followed but the Hyenas, but this time they were submissive and keeping a safe distance. Later we managed to locate them licking their wounds, the old man had inflicted some nasty gashes and bites. Not the best of images, it happened so quickly and didn't have much of a view, or the opportunity to change my settings." Previously we showed a hyena pirating prey from a leopard. Though the leopard tried to stand its ground, the hyena boldly rushed in to grab the prey. Twice the leopard tried to fend off the thief but in the end the hyena triumphed and carried off the remains of the carcass. But hyenas do not always walk away unscathed from interactions with leopards. There is one record of a leopard which not only knew the trick of keeping a hyena at bay, but also killed it and it did so not only once, but three times! But here there’s no call for aggression from either side here. The leopard has nothing, except for its peace and quiet, to defend. The hyena won’t attack because there is nothing to scavenge. For now the two adversaries will tolerate one another - next time ‘round, it might be an altogether different case.

 *This image is copyright of its original author Tiger Stalks and Hunts Down Wild Dog in Nagarahole We witnessed an astonishing natural history moment while on a ride inside Nagarahole Tiger Reserve on the 20th of September, 2017. Just as the rain stopped in the morning in the Kabini area of the park, our safari jeep came upon a tiger facing off with a large pack of dholes. The crouching tiger seemed ready to pounce, when a bike-borne forest department staffer came riding between them, inadvertently chasing both away. The tiger disappeared into a bush, so we followed the dogs instead. About 7-8 minutes later, and a bit down the road, the tiger came crashing back from the bush right in our direction, and chased the nearest dog into a clump of lantana. The rest of the pack barked and hopped around in a frenzy, but to no avail, as the dying yelp of the unfortunate individual filled the air before the forest went completely silent. We couldn’t photograph anything those last few seconds, but I don’t think anyone present will forget the sight! http://www.conservationindia.org/gallery...e-wild-dog  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author https://item.btime.com/m_2s1cmtv0rgu Very difficult translate Chinese =)) Tiger wants to destroy wolf  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author http://k.sina.com.cn/article_6501048096_...063wp.html 
Hyena are predators as well, very capable ones in fact.
And that account states that they received info over the radio from another guide who was there, so the photos weren’t taken until they arrived. No time frame other than that was given, so I’ll take the guides word at this stage. (08-16-2018, 12:54 AM)Pckts Wrote: Hyena are predators as well, very capable ones in fact. 1. You like hyenas more than leopards. 2. Hyenas are scavengers + predaeors (old carcass of a leopard) 3. Watch these video |
