Leopard vs. Crocodile
"nik Simpson" wrote in message
... Amazing pictures... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/mai...-mostviewedbox -- Nik Simpson WOW! I wonder what made the leopard go for that crocodile - that's not their usual prey. As for the photographer, I think if I had been that close to the action I'd have wet my pants!!! Hugs, CatNipped |

I read a tiger researcher who said that a grown tiger would take even a large croc if it were hungry but a tiger is much, much larger than a leopard. And more at hom in and near the water. I have recently seen a nature film where a pride of lions were defending a waterside kill, a cape buffalo, from crocs and they eventually had to give up, although they had eaten a lot of the kill by then. -- Will in New Haven |

Amazing pictures... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/mai...-mostviewedbox Those photos are incredible. But what was kitty thinking?! The rangers even said that the croc wouldn't have enough meat on its body to justify taking such a risk. If I'd been that photographer witnessing the attack, I would've chewed off my nails worrying that the leopard was going to get eaten. He's a beautiful animal. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Perhaps a mamaleopard defending her cubs? Or even exacting revenge on said croc for *taking* a cub. Those who say that animals have no concept of revenge never had their shoes horked in the dead of night by Shmogg after somehow causing him offence. What I wouldn't give to have my shoes horked again! Yowie |

It's been over a year now since I lost my Bandit and there are still times when I'll suddenly think about her and the pain is so bad it takes my breath away! But hang in there, it does get easier - I find I'm having more and more memories of her that make me smile instead of making me feel sad. Hugs, CatNipped |

I thought the same thing Tak! Here in Houston, with the humid weather we have, we get lots and lots of lizards and they'll occasionally find their way inside. I have to leap fast in order to get them safely back outside before a cat spots it. Hugs, CatNipped |
