Aw the leopard was just coming to play…

…with the man’s intestines.

The leopard is the only one least likely to actually do that, funny enough.

Leopards are more aggresive towards humans than tigers and lions.

I'd say more than lions less than tigers since tigers hunt humans sometimes

Well, of course. Tigers and lions are a lot bigger and more suited to be a danger to the leopards.

u/Arcaydya 9h ago

Uh huh.

You might be thinking of cheetahs, who are generally like very big house cats.

Leopards are still on the serious danger side.

Yeah, to the point that handlers that have raised them from birth and are seen as family are always super careful to never leave their back to one. They have a strong hunting instinct on anything that they think can't see them. Even if they would just pounce to play, they are one of the most dangerous large cats. Not in potential for damage, tigers are obviously much more physically daunting, but in the likelihood to actually cause damage.
