behind the big cat's and bear's, who is the top predator?

[GuateGojira]

Let's do something. Why you don't search studies about the prey size hunted by these two predators. Latter, see the percentages and the mean weights of its preys, puma and leopard respectively and present the results. Finally, check how many predators they kill in they environments and compare its sizes and percentages of consumption.

Just for example, leopards deals with small sized bears like the sloth and Malayan bear, big tigers, lions, hyenas, wolves, dholes and even crocodiles, depending of the area. Pumas share the habitat with medium and large sized bears like the black and the brown one (I don't know of any interaction between polar bears and pumas), also there are the wolves and the wolverine (if you think this one could be a true competitor), but apart from that, I don't see any other important competitor (in Florida, alligators could be also competition).

In Central and South America, pumas also share its habitat with jaguars, different crocodiles and large snakes, but in this area, pumas are not the dominant predator, jaguar it is, and don't show the great feats of its brothers of the north. Reply
