00:00welcome back everyone to the most epic showdown in the animal kingdom today we're pitting two
00:14of the world's most powerful ambush predators against each other from the mountainous terrain
00:19of the americas we have the legendary mountain lion and from the african and asian savannas
00:25the phantom stalker the leopard i'm deepak and with me as always is my co-host sonia
00:32sonia are you ready to see which of these big cats reigns supreme i am absolutely ready deepak
00:38and i have to say my bet is on the sleek and lethal leopard they are the ultimate stalkers
00:44and i'm confident they'll win this one oh you are taking the leopard interesting well
00:49that leaves me with the ghost of the mountains the powerful and massive mountain lion let's get into
00:55this let's start with a crucial factor sonia size and mass an average male mountain lion can weigh up
01:02to 100 kilograms easily outclassing the leopard what's your leopard's counter to that i'll admit
01:10my leopard is lighter only around 60 kilograms but that leaner mass is an advantage it allows
01:17for incredible agility and speed still for raw weight you've got this round deepak i'll admit
01:24my leopard is lighter only around 60 kilograms but that leaner mass is an advantage it allows for
01:31incredible agility and speed still for raw weight you've got this round sonia hold on while the
01:39mountain lion is heavier it can also get up to 80 kilometers per hour in a sprint making it faster
01:45than the leopard that's impressive but leopards can reach up to 58 kilometers per hour they may be slower
01:53but their agility and ability to change direction in a flash are what make them dangerous but the fight
01:58would be over before your leopard had time to react a mountain lion on the attack is a blur
02:05for sheer top speed i'm taking this one you have a point a single charge could turn the tide
02:11fine point mountain lion my mountain lions reflexes are unmatched it can twist mid-air dodge and strike
02:19with pinpoint accuracy this is all about finesse leopards are just as fast their reflexes are built
02:26for quick precise strikes they are nimble and can react to a threat in a second hmm i think we both
02:33have a point here let's call this one a tie no wait i will give it to your leopard as it's built
02:41for quick precise strikes that's more like it point mountain lion now let's talk about biting force
02:48i'm sorry to interrupt deepak but my leopard's bite force is 400 psi well below the mountain lions
02:55i'm sorry to interrupt sonia but my mountain lions bite force is 650 psi well above the leopards okay
03:04okay i admit it that jaw is seriously scary okay okay i admit it that jaw is seriously scary let's talk
03:12about the natural armor my mountain lion has thick hide and muscle especially around the neck it's a built-in
03:20defense against attacks my leopard has a sleek body built for stealth not defense it's a trade-off
03:27my mountain lion wears armor to the fight it's an easy point for my team i can't argue with that
03:34another point to the mountain lion now stamina mountain lions are endurance runners they can run for miles
03:42chasing down prey relentlessly they are built for long distance chases leopards on the other hand are
03:48sprinters ferocious bursts but not long distance fighters so the mountain lion takes this round
03:55easily fine deepak mountain lion takes stamina but the next round is where my team makes a comeback
04:02let's talk about mindset my leopard is a solitary hunter all about focused precision and unyielding
04:10determination they are known for their fierce mindset mountain lions are also solitary hunters
04:16they're very cautious and only fight when they need to and sometimes that caution costs you the fight
04:23the leopard's determination is a powerful weapon point leopard i'll give you that one focus determination
04:29is a weapon tactics leopards are masters of ambush using stealth and surprise they can climb trees and
04:37surprise attack mountain lions use the terrain to their advantage they will use cliffs and rocks to ambush
04:45my leopard's ability to use the trees gives it an advantage that a mountain lion doesn't have
04:51point leopard i'd argue that using the terrain is also a tactic still i admit the leopard's approach
04:57is better suited for this duel point leopard last one deepak injury tolerance leopards are incredibly
05:05resilient they're known to keep fighting even when seriously wounded mountain lions are known to retreat
05:11when they are seriously injured it's a smart survival instinct but not in a duel exactly a leopard simply
05:18refuses to quit that's a brutal kind of resilience sonia you're right leopard takes this round so let's
05:25look at the scoreboard my mountain lion wins in size speed bite force armor and stamina that's five victories
05:35and my leopard claims reflexes mindset tactics and injury tolerance that's four points the final score
05:43is five to four and the mountain lion is our winner but remember everyone this is just a hypothetical battle
05:50real fights depend on so many factors mood environment and pure chance absolutely sometimes courage wins
05:59and sometimes cunning does both animals are remarkable survivors so respect the wild appreciate their
06:06strengths and never forget nature is about balance not scoreboards we will be back with another
