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.

Lone hyena???
