Ok, I am not sure this is the best place, but here is a subspecies comparison.

Sri Lankan Leopards are dominant predators, so we see them attempting to hunt adult Sambar Deer.



Sri Lankan Leopard attempts to hunt a large Sambar stag. Unfortunately, the Sambar spots the Leopard, and runs off. 

A good kill could have taken place if the Leopard went undetected.

Indian Leopard attempts to hunt a Sambar fawn, only for the young deer to jump into a pond.

The Leopard actually jumps into the pond and swims for a while at 0:20, and gets out at 0:47

Leopard filmed chasing a Sambar Stag in Sri Lanka. The chase seems to stop mostly due to the Leopard becoming cautious of the tourists.
