Quite a rare sight; a crocodile scavenges from a leopard in Sri Lanka. A huge boar also shows up

Same encounter, different angle

No I just found it on Facebook. No description or whatsoever so we don't even know what the outcome was. It does seem to be in favour of the leopard though... Reply

"Apparently you occasionally get caught playing with a pangolin, and then with a mugger crocodile!  

These screenshots of images captured last evening show the 3:2 Suduwelimulla cub/sub adult, son of the Diganwala female (and also believed to be the son of the old male known as Hamu found on our logo) playing or experimenting around with a young mugger crocodile."

Quite interesting to see, that honey badger backs off so easily. Honey badger intimidated looks like to be the situation, it is after all caracal holding ground while honey badger leaves. Reply

Brave leopard with that adult croc! That big croc would be challenging even to lions or if in Asia, to tigers too, handsome crocodile!! If crocs can be called handsome Reply

@Shadow :

About #807: Yes this leopard is very courageous, but from the other side, the leopard only tries to snatch a piece of flesh. No question at all of starting a fight with this big croc which - as you say - would have challenged a lion or a tiger too. Simply by staying alert under its watchful eyes, the croc has no chance of grabing the leopard, too much swift and agile for it. Reply

I agree both with Spalea and Shadow. That crocodile is larger than a lioness and would be a challenge for lions for sure! But yes the leopard is far too agile and he knows that.

This is a similar situation where the leopard is confident enough to get a piece from a carcass:
