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.

Shows you how easily it overpowered a similiar sized crocodile
Just that I understand right, that video and that photo are from different cases. So there is one case, where both seem to disperse. And then a photo from another fight which is showing one moment of fight, but not result of it. Right?
I'm not sure if these are two different interactions. Even if it is, both crocodiles are decent sized. What I find amazing in that video is the situation the leopard is in; it's predating on a dangerous foe that's its own size while being harassed by even more dangerous water buffaloes. Still had everything under control.
Yes big cats can do well with crocodiles especially when smaller crocs are on dry land or shallow water. But it looked like in that video, that both had had enough in the end. Croc did bite leopard to front leg and leopard then again bite on backside of neck of the crocodile, so inconvenient for both :)
