A leopard is a top predator and is not a regular part of any animal's diet. Its only enemies are man, hyena, wild dogs, and lions. If killed by any of these four, it can and will be eaten, but it is highly unusual.
A leopard can also be killed by a lucky kick or strike from a prey animal it is trying to take down. However, that animal won't eat it; it only struck the blow in self-defense in an effort to get away with its life.
A leopard can also be killed by rhinoceros, water buffalo, and hippopotamus who are protecting their young, but, again, those animals don't eat leopard because they are herbivores, not carnivores. A crocodile or a python may eat a leopard if it was given the chance.
Bulls aren't "angry" all the time. They just get protective of their harem of cows during breeding time, and like to challenge the leader of their herd (which would be the farmer or rancher or another top bull) all the time to test their strength and bravery to keep at the top of the pecking order.
