Leopard Vs Hyena fight- who will win?

Know about the Leopard vs Hyena fight- who is going to win the fight.  When you picture these two creatures getting into a combat it is obviously an interesting sight to all the action lovers, but yes, to those who do not like it is evident to visualize some blood spill and a nasty dead body on the defeat of the opponent.

And why I am trying to bring this picture in is because leopard is the smallest member amongst the Felidae family of the four big cats namely the Tiger, Lion, and Jaguar. And Hyena- all I can say about it is that it is a nasty looking dog. But in this case unlike any other normal cat dog fight, the cat is mostly the stronger one with ability of better chances to take down the dog.

Leopard is one of the near-threatened species that is on the process of getting wiped out because of all the poaching going on around. This creature which once extended its legions in most parts of the world covering vast geographic regions across eastern and southern Asia and Africa, from Siberia to South Africa has now fewer places to roam around that man is trying to build a jungle of its own.

Though its population is slowly trying to thin out yet it can be seen in parts of India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Malaysia, China and Indochina, but major of its population can be spotted in sub-Saharan Africa. These witty fellows are stealthy predators gifted with a strong set of jaws, the grip of which has power to drag prey twice its weight without any difficulty.

The muscles attached to the scapula are exceptionally strong, which help them to climb trees. So any creature being around it thinks twice because it can not only grab you on the land it can also outrun you on trees. So there is no escape even if one tries and climbs. Though smaller in size compared to its other members of the family these are packed with bigger ability to hunt its prey.

And Hyena native to Sub-Saharan Africa also referred to as tiger wolf. The hyena is the largest extant member belonging to the family Hyaenidae. These spotted “dog like creatures” can measure around 95.0—165.8 cm in body length, weigh 40.5—55.0 kg (89—121 lb) and have a shoulder height of 70.0-91.5 cm (these are the parameters for an adult hyena). However there were some exceptionally large members to this group which weighed as much as around 81 to 86 kg which are now believed to be extinct.

Hyena vs Leopard fight- who will win?

Although when it comes to a fight the chances are mostly 50-50. One always has some advantages over the other. However in some ways the leopard has more chances because of it agility, speed, stealthiness and most of all the jaw power which can grind bones. The fight comparison of Hyena vs Leopard is really interesting.

In case of hyenas their treacherous capabilities to hunt and ipso facto hunt in packs makes them powerful. A leopard which rather fights solo, hyenas move in groups, and hence when one is taken over the others come to its rescue.

Moreover many times a hyenas are spotted to be larger than the leopard in which case they can take down the leopard easily if they work in group. The height, weight and size of the leopard mostly differ due to various geographical conditions and they adapt themselves in the region according to their habitat.

However this does not change the fact that it belongs to one of the most powerful family of predators and when it comes to hunting it does not give up till either victory or death comes.
