Ever see an adult male leopard walk through lion territory, right past an entire pride of lions?

The lions just sit there and watch from a respectful distance, and the leopard acts like he’s got no troubles.

A leopard can kill you, drag you up a tree, take your girlfriend and max your credit card before you know he’s even there.

That may be true for well fed lions who don’t want to bother fighting another predator. The fact is that lions routinely steal leopard kills. That’s one reason they take them up trees. A leopard is no match for an adult lion.
