A Leopard wrestles down a grown cow.
 *This image is copyright of its original author *This image is copyright of its original author The Leopard was pinning the cow to the ground, until one of its buddies moved the Leopard from the advantageous position. This helped the fallen cow escape. *  *This image is copyright of its original author https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QttIpgLaeWM&feature=emb_title (12-17-2019, 07:04 AM)Styx38 Wrote: A Leopard wrestles down a grown cow. Impressive cow, looks like to be quite young and it managed to rise up after falling. I was surprised to see, that it practically alone was able to fight so good. In the end leopard seemed to be scared for something, still my respect to that calf/young one, what a fight!!! :) (12-17-2019, 04:22 PM)Shadow Wrote:(12-17-2019, 07:04 AM)Styx38 Wrote: A Leopard wrestles down a grown cow. If you see the full video, you can see the Leopard was holding down the cow from 0:17 to 0:44 You can see how the cow's friend or herd member tried to fend off the Leopard. Once the Leopard moved to a different angle, only then did the cow get up. Also, the cow looks to be either an adult or a near-adult. The cow looked comparable in size to the other cows. Not to mention, Leopards have killed full grown cows before.

Photo By Mahesh" It is pretty obvious that the cow is no match for a Leopard when alone. My point was to highlight the strength of a Leopard (when wrestling down cows) compared to most humans.

Cows for instance have very sensitive muzzle/nose, when bulls have nose rings those aren´t decorations. Same for instance with a horse. I´ve seen myself a guy making a horse to calm down in split second by taking a very tight grip from nose. That horse was right away standing still. Not a nice way to treat an animal, but he could have forced that horse down without a doubt alone, easily, if wanting to. Of course if you wrestle a cow and not knowing how to do it, it´s a total mess, no matter how big man you are, the cow is usually stronger. As it is stronger than a leopard too, it´s not about strength and overpowering when a leopard tackles a cow or lion tackles a buffalo, it´s about ability to put enough weight and speed from right angle right time. If it would be about strength, no leopard would kill any cows and no lions would kill any buffalos etc. They are simply too small to compete with strength alone. But when 60 kg of leopard jumps on neck of some bigger animal and same time claws penetrate skin hooking in and biting neck or muzzle it´s naturally challenging for prey animal. Those videos which you shared show to me just some people, who have no idea how to force cows to ground. Look at this for instance. These guys know what they are doing and force bulls down alone with ease, they could even kill those cows faster than leopards if they would want to do that. With bare hands. Even though those bulls are way stronger.
Here a video without horses. These guys are training to wrestle bull down alone. Sometimes bulls get fatally injured in these events, sadly. Point is, that if anyone wants to compare strength of some animals and people, then objectivity is needed. If taking only videos with people, who don´t know what they are doing it´s like showing videos of leopard, lion or tiger cubs hunting and say, that these animals can´t catch anything.

They can drag it up to 1000 meters from one area to the other ( Crashaw & Quigley, 2002, personal observation ).

You overexaggerated that wayyy tooo much. No living predator can drag 2-3 tons. I think 1.1 or 1.2 tons in the max |
