There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

I reckon it's kinda between both these statements.

I doubt that the lionesses had any intention of sparing him. They went in for the whatever would come easy... killing, mauling, injuring. It'd be safe to assume they weren't willing to lose an eye or ear for it.
They leopard did do his part in the lionesses "losing interest", they usually do in these cases (seems somewhat commoner than i thought earlier), but that's it...

Yes, I agree with that too. Leopard is no joke and that helps it to flee many times with bigger cousins. It can hurt lions and tigers even though naturally all energy in such situations is to find a way to flee as soon as possible. Naturally it is one thing to cause some pain/wounds and be able to flee and totally another one is if bigger cat for some reason turns out enraged too and gives also all it has. Leopard can´t afford to be there if that happens :)

But not many so much smaller animals are able to flee from lions and tigers even after short fight, so leopard for sure deserves certain respect, I think. Usually when biggest cats are all over something it is game over.
