Still unike leopards Lions will usualy not eat other carnivores just kill them..



 

I think it all depends on the situation. 
I have seen lions actually eat cubs killed, a mother has eaten her own cub killed as well.
When I saw the video, my theory was, Better the cubs mother eats it than a competitor. Kind of out of respect to the cub I guess, if that makes sense. 


 


 

Male Lions eating cubs from a rival male is probably an act of dominance like some male Lions will after they have killed another male.

 

 

The mother Im speaking of ate her own cub. 

Since I have no proof of Leopards eating other predators more than Lions or Tigers, I cant say they do for sure. 
But if it was true, my guess would be, its harder for a leopard to make kills than a larger cat, and they can't afford to discard the way a larger cat has to. But I don't think there is any proof of it being true so I can't say for sure. 
Lets get back to jags now. 
If you would like to discuss further, maybe a new thread would be usefull.
