Best Answer

No, a leopard is smaller in size and weight than a lion (especially a full-grown male lion) and would avoid confrontation. This is one reason that a leopard will carry its prey high into the tree tops, so preventing lions and hyenas from robbing the leopard of its kill. A leopard is very skilled at climbing trees. In fact, a leopard is more likely to ambush prey by dropping down from tree branches, than stalking and chase its prey as does a pride of lions.

Who will win out of a lion and a leopard in a fight?

a lion, hands down of course a leopard probably wouldn't fight, it would climb up a tree, lions aren't good climbers also a lion would have the strength of the pride behind him, so a one-on-one fight would rarely happen in the rare case that the lion was on its own and the leopard didn't run off, the lion would probably win, they are bulkier and stronger, and built for fighting, the leopard is more sleek and built for climbing and running if two humans of equal skill were fighting, the bigger one would win, i would assume its the same for animals, the lion is stronger, bigger, and more skilled at fighting
