Leopard Bests Crocodile
Posted on July 19, 2008 Comments (3)

Leopard savaging a crocodile caught on camera:
The giant cat raced out of cover provided by scrub and bushes to surprise the crocodile, which was swimming nearby. A terrible and bloody struggle ensued. Eventually, onlookers were amazed to see the leopard drag the crocodile from the water as the reptile fought back.
Eventually the big cat was able to sit on top of the reptile and suffocate it. In the past, there have been reports of crocodiles killing leopards, but this is believed to the first time that the reverse scenario has been observed.

I’d say leopard was just lucky this time or the crocodile was too small (or too surprized by sudden attack to respond adequately)… Crocodiles are very strong and very fast creatures, it seems to be a unique case when a leopard beats it..
