Whoa!! Looks like male leopards are bolder than I thought, have you seen that other video of that other leopard chasing off 9 painted dogs and taking their kill? I honestly have no idea how this is even possible.

Leopards, especially males, have stolen kills from packs of wild dogs on numerous occasions:

Hyena's also have to look out for a leopard scavenging

Or what about a leopard chasing lionesses off his kill?!

"The other guides had equally good mornings, and watched some wonderful interaction as Makepisi male leopard and the two Jacaranda lionesses that had stolen his kill! Miraculously, he stalked back in and frightened them off and managed to salvage a piece of the kill before moving off."

What do you mean? Leopards can scavenge from other predators aswell, it's nothing new although the leopard chasing off the 2 lionesses is very, very rare. Reply

I personally have seen my fair share of clashes here between the species but there seems to be plenty of food (i.e. wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes) to go around.

Not “eternal enemies”, just members of the same guild making a living.

Old video with some "fierce fighting"... obviously humans aren´t only ones able to "kill some time" by having fun...

Giant otters are very aggressive and dangerous. When these jaguars encroach on their space, the otters fight back. Otters aren't typically thought of to be fierce animals, but they can handle a fight when necessary.

These are giant otters. These are two jaguar sisters named Medrosa and Jaju.

They are engaged in a standoff near Panthera’s research station in Southern Brazil. Jaguars have a diet of primarily caimans and capybaras … but these sisters seem intent on possibly broadening their dietary horizons.

This individual was able to scare off the two jaguar sisters. Giant otters are carnivorous and have acute agility in the water. Some local tribes have dubbed them “Aquatic jaguars". The otters form social groups to help maintain control and to protect one another.

In this second standoff between a young female jaguar and a family of otters, the otters prevailed "again".

1:39 = There's a "Tsunami" in the water induced by these Lutrinines !!! Reply

Hungry lion pride (group) vs Biggest Reptile in the world and a formidable predator (Solo King or master, fears nothing).

These lion cubs go exploring in the African plains and come across charging elephants, alligators (those are crocs, lol) and falling branches.

You are right they are very aggressive and dangerous always stacking in groups, that is the reason they call them river Wolves. Reply

Odd words by Ajay Suri;

"Members of a particular tiger meta-population are generally accommodative of each other, and often behave as part of a single clan.
When two tigers from different meta-populations confront each other, they exhibit two characteristics — Less affinity and more anger."

"The first properly documented incident of tiger-cannibalism occurred a few years ago in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (also in Madhya Pradesh). This one picture, kept under wraps for long for fear of causing bad press to the Indian wildlife's poster-boy, showed in unmistakable detail a tigress partaking the carcass of another tigress whom she had defeated in a territorial fight."

...it did not end with Langdi's death. Two years later, her son returned and killed Kankatti.

@Rishi remember when I was unable to reply to @Pckts about cannibalism b/w tigresses of mp in big cats news thread? I was talking about these two Langdi and Kankatti of Bandhavgarh now I remember but unable to recall few months back to reply. Actually, there was a documentary video about the whole incident which was deleted by Raheja Wildlife Channel. I know the full story, it was like a revenge. Reply
