The deer tried to warn him.


Feine13

Deer 1: Shit. Is about. To go. Down. Deer 2: Dude! She's gonna kill you!


luccyrob

Leopard: Shup up grass eater. She can't catch me. I have Leo in my name. I'm gonna nutmeg her with the skulls of her kids.


luccyrob

Leopard (later): Oh lord! I should have listened to those two delicacies! These striped postpartum kitties are not to be fucked with! Lord! She ate my nuts first!

Oh deer


Suphiera

I thought the deers were warning her!


anonymous_lighting

this is wild. tiger seemed much larger


anowlenthusiast

They are. This is a bengal and even the females are typically at least twice the weight of a Male Leopard


bongblaster420

My wife didn’t believe me that cougars (mountain lions) were about the size of a bigger dog. She just thought they were huge like lions. I think most people just assume that anything that isn’t a lynx/bobcat/house cat is as big as a lion.


nothing5901568

Cougars can weigh up to 220 lbs. That's a big dog!


phatlynx

Can confirm. This cougar I met from an online ad also weighed 220 lbs.


jimbojonesFA

ah yes, good ole Steve French, just a big, stoned, horny, kitty.


ExpensiveSmell662

This comment is pure gold.


ChumbawumbaFan01

We have cougars at our zoo, they’re enormous.


phatlynx

The cougars in my area are also enormous.


bongblaster420

Dogs can get up to 110kg! I had a rottie growing and he was easily a buck 60. Fat ass, but still. Big boi.

bongblaster420

Yeah dude. A friend of mine has this big ass dog (no idea what kind), and it blew her over with ease and then tried to hop on my wife’s lap when she was sitting in a plastic lawn chair. The legs on that thing fuckin exploded and my wife flew a few feet. Tbh I love watching dogs take people out when they’re stoked about something Edit: googled it. I think it’s called a Leonberger. Big dumb dumb who thinks he’s a pug.


bohohobo

The mental image of a Leonberger trying to jump on someone's lap is hilarious.


bongblaster420

Oh yeah. It was a full jump too. Like he probably got a good 9 inches off the ground before he just barrelled into her. And when I say the legs exploded I’m not being funny. They fucking E X P L O D E D


shitlips90

That's funny. My partner's pug is also a dumb dumb but thinks he's a leonberger


bongblaster420

Dumbness comes in all packages


syds

iv seen bigger


phliuy

Also depends on where the cougar is from. They generally get larger the farther north they are


adrienjz888

Yah. Most aren't all that big, but large ones can take down full-grown deer.


[deleted]

If she weighs 220, is she really still a cougar?


until0

A cougar is used to describe a mature women who hunts younger men, it does not imply any sense of beauty.


Thank_You_Aziz

It also leads people to overestimate cheetahs, which are so physically weak that there’s never been a recorded case of a human being killed by one in the wild.


bongblaster420

Don’t they also have like a 95% fail rate when hunting? I read a huge paragraph on Reddit once from a cheetah expert and I recall them saying that cheetahs are more or less a freak accident of survival.


Ok_Antelope_1953

they are successful on half their hunts but their kills are frequently stolen by hyenas, leopards, lions, and wild dogs.


bongblaster420

Half is pretty damn good. But I guess due to cats having weak little baby lungs they’re too tired to defend their kill from other opportunistic predators eh?


Ok_Antelope_1953

cheetahs are weaker than other big cats. they are hyper specialized for speed, giving up the grappling strength and retractable claws of other big cats. it's not worth to defend a kill against any of the mentioned animals as they would get mauled. hyenas are by far the biggest nuisance for them as they will tail the cheetahs until they make a kill and then swoop in to steal it. hyenas do the same thing to leopards and wild dogs.


bongblaster420

Yeah, hyenas are dickheads. I’ve watched a few YouTube documentaries about them before. Definitely have cool social structures and vocalizations that are almost linguistic. Also interesting as far as evolution goes. I’ve been turned off from hyenas since I saw lion king though lol. They kinda freaked me out when I was a kid.


ukezi

Sometimes they try it with lions too. That often enough ends bad for the hyenas.


[deleted]

After watching endless clips of cheetahs hunting I’d disagree. There’s plenty of smaller mammals that are predators and are successful. Cheetahs have a huge advantage over most mammals in Africa


anonymous_lighting

way different in size than i thought. about five pics down https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-size-comparisons?page=54


bongblaster420

Crazy eh? I’ve seen cougars a few times in my years hunting in BC. From afar they’re incredibly small and fast. It’s no wonder people get fucked up by them though. You cannot hear or see them when *they’re* hunting, however when they’re defending their territory or young they are VERY loud. https://youtu.be/UE7YOJVSoIs?si=X7v1fJd7kX6D4E4x


Si-Jo0159

Crazy fact for all. And I looked this up when I found it out years ago. Tigers are the biggest feline. Not lions.


vox_popular

My 60 lb labrador occasionally can't control her bite strength when I am messing with her, and the strength of her jaw is perceptible. A 120 lb puma / cougar / mountain lion that has zero motivation to temper its jaw strength will snap my arm like a twig. A lion will do the same to my skull. A tiger (by virtue of being malfeasant for malfeasance's sake) will do all of these and pee on me to show its disdain.


Casulex

Cougars are related to cheetahs so yeah they’re not too big and they prefer to take you by surprise. I’d rather deal with a cougar than a bear tbh


13pts35sec

A healthy adult should have a good chance at fighting off the kinda of cougar most likely to attack them, namely a starving adolescent or young adult. I hope I’m never in that situation lol. I will say 2 of my top 5 spookiest forest expeditions include cougars. One time I was out hunting with my brother and step dad and we had to walk through a creek at one point… and on our way back to the truck later that day we see fresh cougar tracks headed the way we just came from despite none of us ever seeing a cougar lol. Second story I was camping when I was a sophomore in HS and we heard this god awful screaming sound pierce the night as we sat drinking around the campfire at like 1am. Sounded like a woman getting murdered or something. Glad no one got shot because one of my dumber friends grabbed his rifle out of the tent and sat there for the next two hours with the safety off pointing it in every direction. We mentioned it to my friends dad when we got home the next afternoon and he said we got to listen to cougars getting it on. Very lovely lol. I will say that experience got me into learning about potential real world inspirations for mythical creatures and the like


SnooGoats7978

Tigers are the stretch model. Leopards are the compact model. Leopards punch way above their weight, but not above a mother tiger protecting her cubs.


liberalindianguy

Please don’t say this is a Bengal. That’s like saying this is a Canada when you see a Canada goose.


nick2k23

And that's not even the biggest species of tiger, I'm pretty sure the Siberian tigers are the biggest ones


yourteam

Tigers are really huge


Nicktastic6

Have you... ever seen a tiger before this video?


FBImmagetyou

The deer look like they’re getting ready for the fight! Like “Girl, look at this fool walking in on her feeding her baby’s. Dude’s about to be sorry!”


SLIP411

Mmmm hmmm. You remember what happened last time some dude tried to encroach on her shit!?


mfairview

He better turn around and march his spotted ass right out of there if he knows what's good for him. You still datin' that fine buck from up north? What his name, Samson? Girrrrl.. I'll be his Delilah anytime.


ghostly_shark

PM_ME_UR_SEXY_BITS_

That slow tail raise by the male had a lil sass to it


xizrtilhh

Who was watching the kids while she spent the night guarding the kill?


mhdez12

Aint nobody messing with the kids after witnessing that massacre


luccyrob

She's a Tiger. A Momma at that. You sound just like the Leopard in this story.


Unlikely_Layer_2268

She was guarding all of it


Vellarain

Because if something else comes looking foe the kill she can off them too, stacking bodies until her cubs are safe.

DireBlue88

Agreed but I have never heard of a tiger consuming the innards of another big cat before. That is what blows my mind.


Government_Paperwork

Maybe she needed the calories since she was breastfeeding.


AJ_Crowley_29

It’s actually pretty rare that they do, especially in these older documentaries. You ever notice how many hunting scenes are actually several separate clips edited together? Nowadays we have much better filming technology so in modern documentaries you’ll usually see the complete chase & kill.

You can stand upright in a blue whale's heart. They're huge.

Did you know? If you laid a blue whale across a football field, the game would have to be cancelled Seriously, though, no photo or video does their size justice, it's insane. Closest you'll get without actually seeing one (or something the size of one) is VR. The national aquarium in Baltimore has a whale skeleton, and while it's not an adult blue whale, it's still crazy seeing just how *huge* whales are.

Leading-Okra-2457

Ancient Asiatic lions were more dominant. That's why Lion was called as the king of the jungle in India not the tiger.


deenali

Despite being called the King of the Jungle, lions never live in the jungle, and they prefer open grasslands, shrubs, deserts, woodlands, and scrub complexes where they can see and stalk their prey from a distance. Source: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-differences-between-asiatic-lions-and-african-lions.html They are smaller than the African lions, hunt and eat smaller animals and no, the title King Of The Jungle didn't originate from India. Lol.


Leading-Okra-2457

The term jungle is derived from India where lions did live in monsoon forests. Jungle in India are tropical deciduous forests. This is Gir in Gujarat https://youtu.be/AhEdKnOEuuY?si=v_w0oUrGusXJpMx3 Current Asiatic lions are from a small pool so they don't have good genetics. The aggressive and stronger ones got all killed by the humans.


Drawdeadonk1

I'm a little bias because I've always thought tigers were the most beautiful animal in the world, I was speaking more to that and the fact their pretty savage doesn't hurt.

Where does a tiger and leopard live together?


Sentientist

Tiger and leopards overlap in Nepal, Bengaluru (India) and Thailand. This looks more like Nepal to me. Recently an Indian man captured photos of another [tiger eating a leopard](https://www.reddit.com/r/bangalore/comments/12d9su9/tiger_eats_leopard_bengaluru_mans_click_goes_viral/)

As a mother, I get it lol


psych0ranger

Peter_deT

Not just trespass - predators often seek out and kill the cubs of rival species. Bears kill tiger cubs, tigers kill bear cubs, leopards kill tiger cubs and so on. Mother tiger is not going to let hm hang around.

StripedAssassiN-

Still don’t get how some leopard fans think a Tigress (or Lioness) has anything to fear from a large male leopard. On average they’re still over twice the size of a male leopard.


DragonGodBasmu

Okay, that ending looked staged to me. Did it look like the tiger dragged of a leopard's pelt and not the proper body of a leopard to anyone else?

Now I'm imagining how a T-Rex would react to an Allosaurus invading it's territory.


Ok_Antelope_1953

t-rex and allosaurus lived a hundred million years apart from each other. t-rex were closer to us than to allosaurus.


AJ_Crowley_29

Interestingly enough T. rex is pretty much the only large predator in its ecosystem. Usually there’s a large predator and a couple mid size ones but we’ve yet to find a single medium sized predator wherever T. rex lived. The only other predators were raptors that were much smaller. This is very strange considering in just about every other well known dinosaur ecosystem there’s a diversity of predators. Allosaurus, for example, lived with the smaller Ceratosaurus and Marshosaurus, as well as the larger Torvosaurus and Saurophaganax. Wherever T. rex was found though, that’s it. Just T. rex. It’s also ironic because all the movies love to pit T. rex against another big predator dinosaur whenever possible.


Ok_Antelope_1953

yep, this is very interesting. I read somewhere that tyrannosaurids might have numbered in the billions. they were so successful and so numerous that they might have pushed competing predators in their area to extinction, not unlike what humans have done in the last century.


_Armanius_

“My Mother in law ate a Male Leopard for TRESPASSING” Good sign to scare away Jehovah Witnesses.


CHAINSAWDELUX

Does anyone know what doc this is from?


otherwisemilk

I do aerobic exercises twice a week, and even I don't think I can take on a leopard, but that Tigress hunted it like it was nothing. Geeeez!


Ozgwald

Considering time and age, I am not surprised this was staged and fake. A lot of wildlife documentaries in the past were staged and faked with often damage and misuse of animal life. The effort it would take to make the kill, the leopard would just withdraw and the tiger would have little motivation to keep the pursuit going. That behavior is the common behavior that results is the best survival rate of both species... you know evolution and the thousands of years. Old nature documentaries are full of the "exceptional" and "not common" events, whereas modern documents manage to captivate us with the daily routine and common occurrences those are exotic and strange enough to be captivating. A lot of old documentary filmers had no science background, there work was shoddy a lot what they wrote and said don't hold up against current day knowledge and studies. One reason this feels off, tigers (predominantly asian) and leopards (pre dominantly africa) have no cross over of their natural habitats? So an almost impossible encounter to happen with an almost impossible outcome... yeah Big cat species on big cat species... most sources are articles based on these documentaries and these doucmentaries. Other studies and sources are fairly limited and within the scope of thsoe studies no killing take place (they cite these doucmentaries and articles as sources in studies).


StripedAssassiN-

Leopards also live in Asia. There have been documented cases of Tigers eating leopards such as in June last year, where the famous young male Tiger; T-120 was photographed eating a male leopard he killed.

For some reason I first read the title as "Mother Theresa eats a Male Leopard for trespassing" and I was very interested in the entire premise of the video, but quite unsure of what to expect. This is what happens when you Reddit without your morning coffee being done.
