Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Would like to recommend the youtube channel WILD BRAWL PRODUCTIONS which has many videos compiling rare interactions between species. Here is one on ocelot interactions with a variety of species including felids (the video won't embed unfortunately).

Onto the highest branchs of a tree, a young and surly lioness engaged the hostilities against a leopard whereas the prey killed by the spotted felid had just come to fall on the ground.









" Ravenscourt managed to kill a young impala, and hoisted in a nearby marula tree. Unfortunately for him, the two young Ottawa females heard the comotion and came running in, resulting in a battle high in the tree for the carcass! It dropped, but the fight continued for some time. Luckily all escaped without injury, except for the impala.... obviously! "

In a heart-pounding scene, a lioness cautiously approached and observed from behind a leopard she was attempting to capture. However, the swift leopard managed to escape, leaving the lioness's pursuit in vain.

A lone male lion killing a lone hyena... I didn't find the place where it had happened, even on the filmmaker's channel page.








" The male lion hunting the hyena following behind back of hyena and male lion is his choice to hunting this hyena it’s no other prey around that it can be hunt and hyena it walking around so hyena it will his food today and it nature that predator vs predator the strong will survive living in the wild animals "

We first see several lionesses clearly sleeping, then two male cheetahs quietly walking on the path and suddendly... Always amazing to note the reaction speed of both felines.

An Amur tiger killed a prime, dominant adult male leopard in the Hunchun area of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park. In an open area, the tiger attacked the leopard, and after a short fight, the leopard was killed and eaten. An investigation team of forest officials, CCTV reporters and biologists (including Feng Limin) arrived at the scene to examine the kill-site.

The leopard who was a resident dominant male (8 years old) of that area, was killed in his own territory:

In the northeast, the winter forest is solemn. Just after the winter solstice, in the Hunchun area of the Siberian Tiger and Leopard National Park, several workers discovered a strong Amur leopard carcass on the snow, with signs of being eaten all over the body - this was a "murder".

With the help of the intelligent "sky, ground and air integrated monitoring system" of the Siberian Tiger and Leopard National Park, the identity of the "victim" was quickly confirmed. The Amur leopard numbered 73 was killed. 

No. 73 Amur leopard is 8 years old. Image files show that it learned to hunt under the strict discipline of its mother when it was a child. As an adult, it established a territory in this area, fell in love three times, and has given birth to (sired) multiple cubs. 

"It was killed in its own 'home'." Feng Limin, deputy director of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard Monitoring and Research Center of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, said that traces of a fight and animal footprints near the crime scene gave the answer: the "murderer" was an adult male Siberian tiger.

Research shows that there is a huge difference in weight and strength between Siberian tigers and Siberian leopards, and Siberian leopards cannot compete with Siberian tigers under normal circumstances. Feng Limin introduced that during the long-term natural evolution process, the Amur leopard has misaligned itself with the Siberian tiger through its dietary niche and spatial and temporal niche, minimizing encounters with the Siberian tiger and achieving coexistence in the same habitat.

When Amur leopard No. 73 first established its territory, there were no other Siberian leopards or Amur tigers nearby. As the ecosystem further recovers, Siberian tigers, which have higher requirements for the living environment, begin to settle in this area. As the population of tigers and leopards increases, the probability of encountering tigers and leopards will also increase.

In the open area, the Siberian leopard No. 73, who was in his prime, failed to avoid the Siberian tiger's attack in time and ended his short life with regret.

"There were obvious signs of a fight about 160 meters south, which should be the first scene of the hunt," Yu said. "The police confirmed that the leopard had been killed and eaten only a few hours earlier, and the body was not yet stiff."

Paw print measurements, analysis of fight marks and predation habits helped the team determine that the Amur leopard was killed by an adult male Siberian tiger. Pattern comparison confirmed that the Amur leopard was a member of the leopard group in the national park.

"This was an approximately 8 year old male leopard in its prime," Feng said. "After reaching adulthood, it expanded to this area and established its own territory. It belongs to the first batch of 'native residents' in this area and is the third generation of the Amur leopard population returning to China. It has produced multiple litters of cubs."

Tiger kills leopard in fight over kill

May 24, 2023


*This image is copyright of its original author



Nagpur: In a rare incident, a leopard is suspected to have been killed by a tiger in Bor Tiger Reserve (BTR), 65 km from here in Wardha district on Tuesday.

Bor range forest officer (RFO) Naresh Gawande said, “All body parts of the leopard were intact. Circumstantial evidence prima facie shows that the leopard must have been killed in a fight with a tiger over a sambar kill.

We found blood stains on the ground and stones at the spot where the leopard lay dead.”

During search near Bor dam backwaters, a partially consumed female sambar deer carcass was found 50 meters away from the spot where the leopard was found dead in compartment number 257. “We don’t know whether the deer was killed by the tiger or leopard. There were multiple pug marks of leopard and tiger at the spot," said Gawande. tnn

Three Amur leopards killed by tigers

Leopards avoid areas inhabited by tigers. When tiger numbers increased during the 1960's and early 1970's, leopard tracks were less often encountered, and then disappeared entirely. In March 2001, a leopard was killed by a tiger in the Borisovkoe Hunting Lease, and Mr. V.N. Dyukov, an inspector with Inspection Tiger Unit, has twice found leopards killed by tigers:

A treetop diner: camera trapping reveals novel arboreal foraging by fishing cats on colonial nesting birds in Bangladesh LINK

Abstract

Based on camera trap images, we document active foraging attempts on nests of colonial waterbirds by a fishing cat Prionailurus viverrinus. The nests were built in the canopy of an 8-m-tall Indian Oak tree Barringtonia acutangula in the Haor Basin region, northeast Bangladesh. In 2022, two events of fishing cats reaching nests with fledglings were documented. In one event, the cat killed four fledglings. The species primarily follows a piscivorous diet and is evolutionarily adapted for semi-aquatic hunting niches. These records provide the first known evidence of the arboreal hunting behaviour observed in the fishing cat.

[Photo sequence of the arboreal predatory behaviour of the fishing cat captured on camera traps in northeast Bangladesh arranged in a clockwise sequence. (A–F) The first event on 03 August, 2022. (G–L) The second event on 02 October, 2022 (for descriptions see Table 1).]
