鬣狗和花豹单挑谁厉害?
花豹M23曾经杀死并吃掉过两只鬣狗,在这个世纪斗争中,不足60公斤的它表现尤为悍勇。甚至有一次同时攻击两只鬣狗。
关于豹杀2鬣狗的描述引自于《The African Leopard:Ecology and Behavior of a Solitary Felid》这本书里的,作者是Theodore M. Bailey,如果对南非豹稍微有点研究的人,相信都知道这位人物的了。
原文描述:(nada提供)
A leopard (M23) in Kruger NP which was underweight (less than 60 kg perhaps) and OLD but apparently a great fighter killed and ate hyenas on at least 2 occasions. One was a young male hyena and another was an adult, presumably a female. On another occasion, Bailey observed the leopard ATTACK TWO HYENAS ON A KILL THEY WERE TRYING TO STEAL FROM THE LEOPARD, BUT THE HYENAS ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES. When the leopard was captured for radiocollaring, he was found with tooth-marks on the neck indicating a recent fight with hyenas. This leopard was killed by a crocodile, and on post-mortem, was found to have all sorts of scars and injuries from a tough, harsh life. Amazingly, he had a FRACTURED AND HEALED SKULL!"
