Altamaha;

You made some really good points and answered my question. When I think about it in light of your comments, a big difference is the respective psychological differences between the various large cats. A tiger or leopard do think much differently than say a jaguar or a mountain lion (cougar) particularly with regard to aggression. For example, there have been relatively few cases of cougars turning to man eating. A leopard will turn to man eating very quickly and rack up kills in the hundreds. And in some cases spots will make house calls.

Best regards,

Don
