Who knew leopards like to eat cats? Isn't that a kind of cannibalism?

Cats in the wild seem to have no compunction about killing and occasionally eating each, if those wildlife documentaries are any guide - there have been reports of Bengal tigers killing and eating Asiatic lions in the Gir forest of India during times of drought, African lions will kill and eat leopards, and apparently cougars include bobcat on their menus.

Brave guy to grab it, though.

Absolutely - but it must have been a young, small leopard for him to have gotten away with it.
