Babe there’s leopard around! -Andrew Schultz

[@theperfectbotsteve4916]

it would be really funny to see a lion trying to fight an uktan like "im not scared of you." and then just gets squashed

[@thenerdbeast7375]

Should be noted that on Earth leopards do not bother caching their kills in trees in lion territories unless there is a large hyena presence and is not because lions can climb to steal the kill. When a lion sees a leopard with a kill it prioritizes eliminating competition over the free food, to the point that they will ignore the leopard's kill entirely unless starving. So keeping the extra energy to be able to run is far more important than food safety as better to live and make another kill than gamble attracting the larger cat's attention and tiring oneself out to make it easier for them. "If a leopard detects a hyena it attempts to cache its kill in a tree, if a leopard detects a lion it just runs." - Unnatural History Channel

[@nojorooney]

I really like how you thoroughly explained what made leopards so successful in this new environment and how they outcompeted other same sized cats, it really helps make the world’s fossil record feel a lot more real and further pushes the idea that no one organism is truly “superior” to another, and the rise of one organism where another falls is all dependent on the context of the situation, especially with animals who share the same niche.

[@sentinelstorm487]

While there have been no harvests in modern day South America, I do wonder how successful the Jaguar would be on Kaimere. They do suffer from being accustomed to being top predator, and the waterways are more dangerous, but I have to wonder if its suite of generalist adaptations still wouldn’t let it thrive

[@TalesofKaimere]

They would also run into a problem with the red panther, which is basically a similar animal in the same niche.

[@alejandroelluxray5298]

Jaguars have been vassal predators for a very long time since they coexisted with animals like smilodon and the short faced bear, so I imagine they will thrive in jungles and wetlands, were it not for the competition presented by the Red panther and the leopards, especially since it would most likely hunt the same prey as the former

As of now, the Kaimeran Cave Bear only inhabit, for the majority of its population, the southern half/slopes of the Central Arvel Mountain range separating the southern Arvelith Highland with the northern Lowland of Arvel. That in order to avoid competition and encounter with the Black Sloth which inhabit only the lowland of the Arvelith Highland. Of course, the species can be found with some specimens in the lowland of the Arvelith Highland, but really a rare sight as this species obviousely do not descend from the slopes often. While the Cave Leopard, as mentionned in the Haraod/Megantereon episode, isn't very common in the southern half/slopes of the Central Arvel Mountain range. So, overall, the two species don't interact very often.
