Leopards being very cautious and alert animals, I cant beleive how it slept off when the lion was so close.
That lion couldve killed that leopard in no time.

Well, it is quite a statement on his behalf.

I mean, the Bicycle Crossing male has been a dominant male since he was three years old; now he's fifteen. 

So it's like he has seen it all in his life and maybe he thought that boy wouldn't make much difference.

As much as they get labeled, rightfully in many cases, as shy animals, dominant male leopards can be an extremely confident and sometimes even arrogant bunch, which of course can get them into trouble like it happened this time. Reply
