African wild dogs are fast, agile, smart and brave. When there is more than one, they can harass a leopard and make it flee to the tree just like they can force hyenas to retreat. Bigger packs can be seen harassing even lionesses.  

When you look to Asia, dholes do the same, they have treed leopards many times. Both of these species are very fast and seem to know really well what they are doing, when they decide to make moves against other predators.

That’s interesting from my knowledge african wild dogs are around 45-70 pounds but large ones can reach 90 pounds . Around the size of a German shepherd and overlapping with a lot of wolf populations in size some large leopards in central Africa and South Africa are around 55-70kg with huge ones reaching 80-90kg . It seems it’s pretty balanced Reply
