I'd say they fit very firmly into the Big 5 and if anyone thinks it's easy to shoot one from a blind probably has never hunted one that way. The work, effort, thought and mind games to get them there is usually phenomenal.

As to strength, I once found a dead Leopard kill about 20 feet up a tree......doesn't sound anything special until I tell you it was a fully grown waterbuck male and the horns measured 32 inches. - And I gotta tell you a wounded Leopard at night is a fearsome thing to track........
