Now we all know that didn't literally happen, think he means that the leopard fended off the tiger which beyond amazing. That tiger is double his size and pounced from behind with a complete unaware leopard.

No matter what others say, to me the leopard is pound for pound the strongest cat.

Well, this one was lucky at least. After all tiger was all over it, but in some way it managed to get out of that situation and escape. Pound for pound estimations are more or less opinion based discussions or disputes in lack of comparable studies really... so I find such topics actually quite boring yes-no situations :) It is a pity, that it seems, that no-one checked that place afterwards and if leopard was there or not, blood marks etc. If not for any other reason, just to give some more information for curious people. Surprising how many times people see an interesting situation, but then they put there so little text about their observations. This kind of incidents are quite interesting and I think, that people could use that extra minute or two to tell how some situation ended, when photos are telling obviously only part of it what happened.
