    While you shouldn't fuck with either, one is 20X more likely to kill you.

        Oh yeah polar bears are like grizzlies but worse.

        Most people will luckily never encounter one though,

          :bloomer: if they get close I can just scare them off

          Realizes I live in an area with polar bears too, knows they listen to no reason and cannot be intimidated

        Then you get leopards that can stalk you for days without you knowing...

        African leopards have preyed on hominids for over 6 million years, and leopards in India are responsible for more human deaths than all other carnivores combined in the areas that they inhabit. Leopards can also do surplus killing, there's stories of leopards wiping out entire flocks of sheep. Leopards hunting us is hypothesized to have played a large part in human evolution.

        I'm honestly more scared of leopards than lions.
