Leopard
Excavating ancient human fossils often reveals the teeth marks of numerous predators, including wolves, tigers, lions, hyenas, and bears, of which the overwhelming frequency is a leopard
Although large predators such as tigers and lions eat humans, it is rare to recognize them as active prey, while leopards recognize humans as overwhelmingly easy prey and actively hunt them
So I often hunt for opportunities around private houses
The leopard’s preference for human predation has continued until after modern times, and in Nepal, an average of 55 people are still killed every year
That’s 19 per million people in Nepal
In India and elsewhere, there are reports of a leopard hunting and slaughtering about 400 people, and countless people around the world are now sacrificed by the leopard every year
The leopard’s belligerence to humans is more brutal than its fuselage-class fighting puma
In North America, the largest habitat of puma, it has been reported that there have been only 126 cases of puma attacks on humans in the past 100 years, leading to serious injuries or deaths
The puma is a very powerful goya and beast, but it’s clearly different from the leopard in terms of belligerence
Many interpretations say that many of the so-called Joseon Dynasty were caused by leopards, and many of the famous Inwangsan tigers are believed to have been leopards
Not only leopards, but also monkeys, and particularly gorillas, who are reluctant to deal with other predators, have been reported to be hunted, so the leopard itself is like the Grim Reaper for all primates
If you’re traveling abroad and you run into a leopard, the chances of coming out alive are zero
