Cougars are no joke, their ability to take down large prey and fight off bears is a testament to their species. My personal opinion is this, if cougars are capable of such impressive feats, imagine a cat with similar abilities but more impressive weapons.... I'm not saying one will beat the other, I'm just saying that a leopard, all things considered, should be capable of everything a puma can do with the addition of more power attached to the skull and torso of the body.
