I know male leopards can be stubborn or overconfident to the point where they provoke lions or try to reclaim a kill from lions. However, in this case there's a chance that the tigress is taking the kill to cubs and the law of nature says you don't mess with a mother, let alone one that's bigger than you.

krishna is old she most likely won't have cubs again Reply

Krishna was just seen mating with T 120 this past month. She most likely doesn’t have any cubs. I’m not sure how old she is but she is from Machli’s first litter so that’s give you an idea of how old she really is. Reply

i'd bet that will be her last litter..i think it depends on the individual many females never have cubs at that age..14 + is old and making babies puts alot of stress on their older bodies krishna's last litter are approaching 5yrs old..when they're round 15+ they try to avoid males like with mataram tigress and other females i've seen seems like females wanna do their own thing after a while Reply

Isn't she one of Machlis original litter or at least very early on?
Her ID seems to suggest so at least. Reply

Is there anything new on Leopards predating on Asian Pythons?

There is a previous source that mentions Leopards kill moderate sized African and Asian pythons, but now we have actual videos of them killing decent sized African Pythons.


"The tiger is known to prey on the Indian python, and the leopard on both African and Asian pythons of moderate size"

source: Giant Reptiles(1973) by Sherman A. Minton and Madge Rutherford Minton 



In this documentary, they stated that the aggressiveness of Reticulated Pythons protect them from Tiger or Leopard predation.

From 1:12


 "Maria munos grabbed an 18-foot anaconda with her bare hands but that won't work with reticulated pythons their aggressiveness may be what's protecting them from hungry predators like leopards and tigers"


So, this indicates that Leopards prey on Reticulated Pythons to some extent.


The question: Is there any recent, possible predation event of a Leopard killing a Reticulated Python, or any other Asian Python? Reply
