A biomechanical model to assess the injury risk of leopards (Panthera pardus) hunting by free falling from trees

Leopards have been observed to ambush prey by jumping down on it from trees. There are both anecdotal reports and video recordings of this hunting behavior. Here we conducted a biomechanical analysis of this technique to assess the degree of risk for the predator in such cases. We concluded that the...
