00:02 Leopards are among the animals

00:06 having one of the most diverse menus of prey.

00:09 But despite this, some animals are left out.

00:15 Attacking certain species requires a lot of care,

00:19 as it can have many risks.

00:21 And that's not a smart choice for a predator

00:23 that has plenty of other options.

00:28 In Africa, buffaloes are thick-skinned.

00:31 They fight lions on a daily basis,

00:36 and because of that, they created some strategies

00:39 to keep themselves protected.

00:40 A leopard cannot bring down an adult buffalo,

00:45 and the cubs usually stay in the middle

00:47 of highly guarded herds, sheltered from predators.

00:50 Because of this, it is rare for the leopard

00:53 to be able to feed on the meat of an African buffalo.

00:57 But in Asia, the leopards there may have a better chance.

01:01 Asiatic buffaloes are not usually as dangerous as Africans,

01:07 so the leopard there is more likely to attack a calf.

01:10 Even though these are less aggressive,

01:13 they are nonetheless incapable of killing an adult.

01:17 And in the same way, the buffaloes there

01:19 can also attack the leopard.

01:21 There are some amazing images that show just that.

01:28 Buffaloes attacking the leopard with strong headbutts

01:32 until the feline runs away.

01:34 With all that size, aggression, and protection,

01:41 it's not hard to understand

01:42 why leopards avoid attacking buffaloes.

01:45 This animal offers too many risks,

01:52 which is why they leave this prey for the lions to attack

01:55 and suffer the consequences.
