Leopards can also cannibalize each other, recently a cheetah in Tanzania, East Africa, mistakenly broke into the leopard's territory while foraging, and was ambushed, lying helplessly in the bushes and struggling, and finally could not escape the fate of death, was dragged to the tree by the leopard to eat.
Leopards are very flexible and adaptable predators, cheetahs and leopards are very prominent representatives of leopards, but there is also a competitive relationship between them.
A woodland in the East African country of Tanzania. During the dry season, water resources dwindle and many herbivores leave the woodland in search of food farther away. However, the predators who remained in place also had less prey to hunt. Against this background, a cheetah left the open grassland and came to this woodland to feed. It did not expect that it would accidentally break into the leopard's territory.
Leopards are very good at ambush hunting and are very good at climbing trees. When the leopard heard the movement, it immediately rushed to the scene and launched a hunting operation. The cheetah unsuspectingly walks through the dense meadows, followed by a leopard, hiding behind a tree and immediately appearing to attack when the time is right. The cheetah was soon wounded and fell into the bushes in a senseless struggle, before the leopard dragged it away and carried it to a tree to enjoy this delicious hard-won meal.
The difference between cheetahs and leopards is not just a difference in appearance. Their hunting patterns and dependent areas also vary greatly. Cheetahs mainly rely on running for chasing hunting, while leopards rely on ambushes and are very good at climbing trees, bringing their prey to the trees to enjoy. As a result, they can complement each other, controlling the amount of prey in the same area, avoiding competition that would lead to the destruction of all food resources.
