Like I said we have had a few dog kills, and I do find signs of cat predation on the outskirts of the city, but again the amount of other foodstuff far outways dogs, plus we tend to look after our dogs a bit better than the Indians etc, the muntjac population around here is unbelievable and no one misses a few Link to post Share on other sites

The dogs in India are usually little feral weighing about 10kgs. It’s rare for a leopard to face a dog face to face 1 Link to post Share on other sites

keepdiggin 9,221 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) If a dog weighs over 30kg they will usually fight a leopard off Edited October 28, 2022 by keepdiggin Link to post Share on other sites

As you say they must find them easy pickings to hunt them so frequently, I think there's only about 40 leopards in the park. Your far too sensible for this thread Gordon Buchanan went out to film them, filmed a city leopard the first night. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
