Current Events > do you think you could defeat an adult leopard in a fight (barehanded)?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah easy but only during a full moon.

Zero chance.

It's not so much defeat as it is just stay alive until it runs away.

Luckily I'll never find myself in a situation where I would have to do that.

So I'm going to say yes for the lulz.

Probably, Id just focus my chi

Tigers are bigger and have lost to man before so this is an easy W

hmm yeah werewolves could def take on leopards since they can take on military members armed w/ modern weapons based on that one movie i saw on Shudder

I'd put up a good fight and then lose.

i didnt take into account that leopards would prob run away from most ppl i think that should count as a win but too late to add that option now to the poll

Male leopard is like twice as big right, and easily bigger than a man. Maybe female leopard. Yeah maybe no mammals , the female is larger

People have killed leopards barehanded before, I like to think we have a shot. Gotta grab the tongue and pull it out.

Cats have insane reaction times and leopards have 5 knives on each paw that will seriously hurt me when they get a paw on me.

All you have to do is jam your finger up it's butthole. It'll get pissed off, but that's how you do it.

Yep saw an old video of a hunter get charged and pounced from tall grass. He ended up with holes in his chest.

Not sure if he survived or not but if a big cat gets you properly, that's pierced and then collapsed lungs, good luck fighting back with that.

If the big cat is declawed then maybe the fight is worth watching since they still have they teeth. The human will still have to wrestle it to death somehow.

Or keep the cat as it is and give the human a baton with those right angled handles, one for each arm and have them with 2 foot blades on the end.

If it's attacking from ambush, probably not. But if I'm aware and prepared I think I could defend myself enough to survive.

The guy was clearly prepared for it and knew how to handle the situation. If you're just some random person walking along and a random leopard appears, that's a very different scenario. I'm gonna assume you are not professionally trained to contend with big cats.

Fuck no. I get scared of birds swooping me.

forgot to include pic of leopard

doesn't look scary tbh

no that's absurd.

I don't think I could even defeat my own cat in a fight, those claws would fuck me up good. And how can you hit something so adorable.

I'd argue thus tiger is playing. It's body language doesn't suggest its aggravated or wants to fight. It's tail It's flicking about aggressively and it doesn't appear to be going for a take down.

If it's a captive tiger, wilhuch it looks like it is, it probably hasn't learned proper hunting skills either. This is not a fair comparison to a wild animal.

The average person wouldn't stand a chance against a big wild cat.

I'm fat and not strong, so the leopard probably wins. I think the average person needs to choke them out or rips out their tongue to win. I know humans have killed leopards barehanded, but it's probably no walk in the park to do so.

Ah someone already did your topic TC. I don't need to bother with anymore nonsense.
https://carnivora.net/what-is-the-most-powerful-animal-that-a-peak-human-t10220-s165.html

In this topic i had to read some of the most stupid, if not the absolute most stupid things ever written on the internet. This topic is complete proof of the fact most people here watched plenty of MMA in their lifes and at the same time they never saw real animals once outside youtube videos. Someone who has seen in real life an healthy adult Leopard or Puma easily understands how severe most of the nonsense written here are. I read about 130kg humans punching prime male Leopards. I read about 130kg humans picking up and slamming Leopard to the ground.

So basically people in this topic are saying one of the absolute most clumsy and slowest mammals on the planet (a 130 kg human) can easily handle one of the absolute fastest and most explosive mammals on the planet (a Leopard).

So how exactly your 130kg punch is gonna land on the leopard, which by the way is at most 70cm taller of the ground?

How exactly your 130kg Mma clown is gonna pick up something which can climb 15 meters trees in couple seconds? Try pick up your house cat when it doesnt want to get picked up, you ll find out what it means claws stuck in the flesh.

You are talking about one of the most agile, fastest and explosive mammals ever lived like it is some sort of sloth hanging from some branches, ready to be hit and handled by slower than average humans.

Final thing: please for the sake of intelligence stop posting the same FAKE stories about people killing leopards bare handed. Please stop. Those stories are FAKE.
How old are you guys? Below 5?
Dont you realize that at the very minimum autopsy would have been conducted on the Leopards bodies by medical or academic institutions? Dont you realize some universities or researchers over the years would have published detailed articles about this very rare incidents? Dont you realize the only "proof" you have about this stories are shady newspapers without any interview or footage whatsoever?

Do we really need to bring up in 2023 the story of the Russian man chocking the Leopard with his hat or we can move on and recognize when something is total fake stuff?

In a modern world where nobody gives a oh no a swear word anymore about wild animals, people in animal forums instead of writing about the incredible physical feats of wild animals they write how a villager kills leopards bare handed because a shady online newspaper said so.

I hope some of the posters will grow into adults capable of using their brains

Not without some serious luck.

People who square off against pumas usually live I hear.

Carl Akeley killed a leopard bare-handed.
https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/carl-akeley-leopard-1896/

Wikipedia mentions the events similar to that website, although the sourde on Wikipedia is no longer availabe via link. There was small exhibition about Cark Akeley at the Field Museum before the pandemic where I read the story of the event as well.

No.
You will die. These things HUNT gators and Crocs. You can't win with something that hunts dinosaurs.

Unless I am mistaken, Leopards, while not the biggest, have the strongest biteforce of all the big kats, kapable of chomping through bone. I ain't fuckin with that unarmed.

Birds are dinosaurs. Crocs are "cousins" at best. While leopards occasionally hunt crocodiles, there's a reason bigger croc species aren't commonly on the menu for leopards.

You're awfully smug for someone who posted a video of someone trained to handle tigers and a trained tiger as evidence that a smaller cat, the leopard, would be no big deal.

Unless the nonsense you don't need to bother with anymore is your own.

idk what to believe

Fuck that.

No you could certainly beat up any big cat

The article says dude shot the leopard in the back paw. Also that dude is insane.

I ain't messing with a leo-pard

It's mostly this. If you can keep it from hitting anything vulnerable, arteries and the like, while punching it in the nose over and over it will eventually decide you are too much work and go away. Then you can hopefully try and get medical attention for the cuts you have from it's motherfucking knife hands before you bleed out.

It's also a pet tiger and wasn't really that interested in killing him. I think I remember someone, maybe Steve Irwin's son, saying that tigers are basically housecats x100 so like a swat from a cat that you'd otherwise be able to just ignore would get your ass knocked down by a tiger but they're basically both the same motion and the same intentions.

Only with prep time. In the animal kingdom we humans are the Batman in a room full of super heroes.

mid diff

Woah and that leopard is 80 pounds too and still caused the human guy some damage. They can definitely punch up their weight class.

Ok I think no one can take on a leopard closer to 200 pounds in most cases (healthy and not injured) but smaller leopards definitely can be killed by someone w/ a lot of grit.

This, I think I could hurt it bad enough to give up before it killed me. I think a leopard is agile enough that it would hard for me to kill it barehanded though, there's not much you can do except try to break it's neck.

I think I could defeat it, but I would probably bleed out immediately afterward if I wasn't given instant medical attention.
