 tigress from nagzira think it's alisha attacking a leopard photo by Abhay Wadgire

Woah, did the leopard survived it? Doesn't look like it to be honest. Also, looks like a female leopard as an adult male would have been 2/3rd of her size.

Leopards come in many sizes but even the large males I saw in Africa and India would be small compared to most of the Female Tigers and Lions I've seen. You can even see the Vin Diesal Male which is said to he a 90+kg Male looks small compared to a Lioness. 


This Male Leopard is very lucky to escape but is said to be very badly injured so time will tell, hopefully he can make it. Leopards in India are much, much harder to spot so every one is important for tourism.

Is there somewhere more information about this incident? I mean one say now, that injured and one that very badly injured, there is quite big difference after all. At least it looked good in that photo, where it was on the tree. Or do we know only, that injured, but no more specific information?

If you read the thread on the photo you can see where the photographer says the leopard was badly injured.
Not sure what the difference is, I know you're looking for clarification but a Leopard was attacked by a Tiger, it's going to have some serious injuries. Unless you tranq. the leopard and give a full examination there's no way to know for sure based off an attack that surely ended with the Leopard fleeing for its life. In situations like that where the interaction happens fast, it's almost impossible to truly get intricate details, the attack happens to fast.

Well, there are many photos of lions and other animals with big gaping wounds and then some where some scratches and quite superficial wounds. That leopard looked good and I didn´t see the photographer to mention very badly injured in any comment, so naturally I got curious, when you commented like that. These situations can be over in 1-2 seconds, sometimes with minor, sometimes with serious injuries. But already it, that leopard could escape indicates, that the tiger didn´t get a good bite etc. But I guess, that there is no more information then about this case. Reply
