So are you saying if a cheetah was feeding on a kill a clan of hyenas would steer clear of him? Hyenas have been known to drive lions off a kill. Please explain. One spotted hyena could displace a cheetah. According to some reading, the hierarchy goes; lion, hyena, then leopard. ( crocodile evidently excluded ).  Packs of African wild dogs actually outrank leopards. One on one a leopard will easily defeat a lone was. |

One-on-one, we cannot say with any certainty how a fight would play out that has never been observed. But I would wager on a panda bear against a leopard. Could a group of cheetahs kill a panda bear? To start with, it is my understanding that these cheetah groups are always made up of young siblings. Therefore; little experience. Another problem I have is - how?
Exactly how might a cheetah do serious damage to a bear - even this bear which I suspect to be vastly underestimated. Zoo keepers say that a panda bear is strong and can be fierce; just like any other bear.

Female giant pandas also protect their cubs.

I recently watched a video of two pandas storming up a tree after a light earthquake in China; they weren't lethargic and slow anymore, they climbed this tree like a regular black bear. One can only guess the full potential of the giant panda in a life-threatening situation but based off his stats, he could deal a lot of damage relative to his size.

Reply 68. If he were a brown bear, the giant panda would be a lot more aggressive and explosive. Sure they will be timid specimens but overall, he will be more offensively aggressive and more active.

You don't know how aggressive and explosive a giant panda might be when the need arises. Read post #69  |

Climbing to the top of a snowman takes a certain amount of skill.

You don't know how aggressive and explosive a giant panda might be when the need arises. Read post #69 I already have. Perhaps the giant panda's agility and speed are underrated. They are also among the best climbers too. Female pandas do defend their cubs aggressively too. Still, I believe they would be much more aggressive if they were brown. |

Good video. The female Cheetah drove off the leopard yes. But look at the uploader's description of the video, it was a young inexperienced leopard. And in the video you can clearly see the cheetah was larger:

Reply #76 - a ( roughly ) 14 seconds video. We neither see the beginning nor the end. What the cause of a confrontation is can have a huge effect on the animal's behavior. Perhaps the leopard was curious about some cheetah cubs. A mother ( most species ) can have some aggressive courage. If this is the case, there was nothing there worth a leopard to fight for. We must remember, a wild animal will usually resist a fight where there is no need. They are not driven by a foolish ego ( as in humans ).
As for size; a cheetah is normally taller than a leopard ( long legs ).
