General hyena vs leopard thread, but with a focus on African Leopard vs Spotted hyena.

 This is a good representation of the sizes of the animals we're dealing with. |

This topic was hotly debated especially on the late AVA forum. Tundra Eagle almost always back up the spotted hyenas 😉. On a more serious note, I think a male leopard can win in a one on one combat but it usually retreats from the spotted hyena. Only few like Mafafunfenyane, Tjololo stand their ground.

How big do you think a leopard would need to be in order to be favored over a 140lb matriarch? |

The leopard has greater swiftness and seems to have greater weapons. Spotted hyenas, however, seem to be about equal in strength to leopards when it comes to tug o war depending on individuals. |
