There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I find leopards and pumas to be very intelligent compared to cheetahs and jaguars. I've always assumed the leopard to be one of the smartest of the big cats. [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

 
Sorry if I express this idea badly (I'm french) but: leopards coexist with both lions and tigers. Lions and tigers are both superpredator within their biotops, perhaps they don't need to be as smart as the leopards are... The fact is: having to adapt oneself with a lot of much more powerful predators, (tigers and lions of course but also hyenas prides in Africa, bears, dholes prides in India) without counting men, the leopard is a very smart animal, I think. That is completely obvious when we look at animals documentaries. Thus, the brain size is not correlated to the real intelligence.
