@Balam @Dark Jaguar 

Can either of you give us information on what took place?

A 15-year-old female leopard that weighed 40 kg was killed by a jaguar through a bite in the neck. The jaguar had eaten 5 kg of meat and was intolerant of the other felid. We know jaguars are very territorial with food as can be seen in the video of the jaguar and tiger interaction while waiting to be fed in the zoo in Peru.

The jaguar, in this case, had 8 years of age and weighed 90 kg, but the sex of the jaguar was not given.

Goes to show how important size and weight difference are when a fight takes place, clearly at twice the size the jaguar was able to manhandle and kill the leopardess with ease. And there are people who unironically believe a leopard can put up a fight against a lioness or a much larger jaguar. Reply
