Never seen a big cat of any kind in my dads home village in Punjab (North India) and hope to never see one!

Seen them in Africa in person and pretty much made me piss my pants. Apex predators for a reason..


Here are my leopards (Lazy bds)

Wow.

Glad they didnt feel the need to kill it though.

That's actually a pretty good photo.

That picture looks like a bad toupe on a windy day.

Picture 4 captioned "The animal was tranquilised and taken to Assam zoo."

Pics 5 to 8 are from an attack last year in which the animal was killed.

That is nice. There was a time when killing it would be the only option considered.

it says it died from the injuries caused

Read the comments again, the second set of pictures is from another attack.

2 different cats, one died as a result of its wounds, one was tranq'd and taken to the zoo.

Article regarding the cat that died(pics 5 to 8 in the OP's post)

Not sure of the need for showing those pictures to be honest. Pretty horrible.

[Marf]

You didn't have to look...

Suddenly the scratches I get from my tabby when she does that back-roll thing don't seem so bad.

OP, I edited the embedded pic to a link for a reason.

Please don't change it again.

that is fking mental , pretty glad there is nothing that can really eat/kill you in the Uk, adders aside,

Blimey!

Must be terrifying, Not alot you could really do to stop it.
I dont reckon a good smack in the mouth would do much to deter a leopard!?

I was (rather improbably) talking about this with a drunk guy a few weeks ago. He reckoned you would be able to knock out a dog with a good punch to the jaw, but not a pig. Not sure about a leopard but you could count on losing a hand if you got it wrong!

Grab a granny night at a local club, you'd probably be safer bumping into the Leopard

Recently stroking a 5 month old Lion cub I hear somebody behind me say Oh look that one is stalking him.

Next thing I know its got its chops clamped around my neck claws in my chest and back. I stayed calm it was only playing then it put a bit more pressure on my next so I stood up. Heavy little bds even at five months.

I wasnt injured but my shirt was. The keeper said thats why we dont let people near them after 6 months old.

Any older and it would have been walking away with my head the instinct to kill is pretty scary . I don't want to go anywhere near a wild one.

That leaopard would have scared teh st outta me.

Beautiful animal. Such a shame they come into contact with humans where they are always going to come off worse.
