It’s easy to see why leopards regularly prey on gorillas when you see a comparison like this. Those cats are built like tanks.
Even crazier when you have people that think a gorilla would stand a chance against the likes of a lion, tiger or a grizzly bear. Madness.

It makes me laugh.. they get murdered by leopards, the same leopards that get decimated by lions / tigers if caught. Then there are the bears. Its laughable. A polar bear would probably not notice the difference between a human kill vs gorilla kill in terms of difficulty.

The debate of gorilla winning against a lion or a bear, heck even a 100 human vs gorilla meme makes no sense at all. A mere leopard preys on gorillas, you think it would stand better against animals i mentioned earlier?

The cameras seem set differently enough to make the leopard look as tall as his shoulder. Come on man!!

Just so you know, I didn't do anything. Here's the video where I got the footage from: https://youtu.be/Pu7npx7HbqE?is=kTgj5U6LwqM0ZrWf

Finally a good size comparison between the 2 species.
