Why do baboons kill leopards?

Answer 1

Don't think they do much, they prefer slightly different habitats.

On top of that, adult gorillas would be difficult for a leopard to manage, and the young gorillas are fiercely protected by the adults.

If a leopard still would try to kill a gorilla it'd be for the same reason as a leopard kills anything - to get something to eat.

Answer 2

Lions don't put much effort into hunting leopards. But they will try to kill them if they have the chance.

To a lion, a leopard is a competitor, another animal trying to hunt, kill and eat the same animals as lions like to eat.

Answer 3

A single leopard wouldn't stand a chance against a male lion, only the tiger can kill a lion out of the big cats and that wouldn't happen because lions and tigers are never meant to face each other in the wild, that's nature. people need to except it, and by not forcing them to fight in a steel cage or a zoo or anywhere. Everybody is entitled to there opinions but the fact is know one would really know for sure. Its not meant to be. And I'm a tiger fan btw. Most Beautiful and Elegant animals ever.

Answer 4

To cut down on competition for resources and to prevent future predation.

A baboon would be hard pressed to kill a leopard. Leopards often prey on baboons, and a baboon, in spite of its long canines, and fierce temperament, would have little chance against the leopard.

Answer 5

Lions (and tigers, in Asia) kill leopards to eliminate competition for prey animals.
