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.
@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 !

I was just tagging you in regards to the uncertainty of it being a Dhole or something else, I saw that you weren't sure so I knew it would help clarify it for you guys.
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.

Hyenas usually split up in groups or alone. They can migrate massive distances in search of food. Wolves yes can behave cowardly against other carnivores hyenas too.. and I think wolves are more vulnerable alone than a spotted hyena, but they are tough as well many videos shows wolverines chasing even packs of wolves, but in Finland lone wolves have killed them.. some times the leopards win and sometimes the hyena...:)
