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 wonder from what source this article has been found? This reminds me about one article about claimed fight between gorilla and lion, which was clearly a fairy tale. This has same features, plot is so similar. Two animals fight in way, which just doesn´t sound at all natural and, surprise surprise, both die in the end :) I wonder if there has been same story teller behind both of these two articles. Some old articles are written so, that similarities to real events can be seen, some then are like taken from Tarzan books. Animals described acting in quite odd ways. I find this article very unlikely to be accurate description about encounter between leopard and python.
Im not sure how it dosen't sound natural, its a snake constricting a leopard that is clawing it, tales of giant snakes references it and seems to think its reliable, it's not even super old either its from 1957 iirc.

It is that overall style, then for instance snake beating ground when leopard does something. Like "special effects" in story telling making it look like more dramatic for readers. Where did you find that, I would be interested to look if something more could be found. So many old stories have been in reality fairy tales, but always interesting to see when something comes up.
After checking the account, it was actually from a hunter story, so it might not be reliable.


Well, that´s not dangerous. When looking for information, sometimes you find better, sometimes worse. I just have learned to be pretty cynical when seeing certain kind of stories. Some can be true, but many times not. For instance bear decapitating moose with swipe of paw, wolverine killing polar bear and some other old stories... when looking closer, for me personally impossible to believe. But for sure in "good old days" those have been good stories to create mythical reputation for many animals :)
