What is a leopard thinking?

Hauled something heavier than itself into a tree. Left it there, for later.

Lions and hyenas will take a leopard's kill on the ground, and neither climbs well. A leopard hauling an antelope heavier than itself into the fork of a tree is not showing off - it is the only way to keep the meal.

The strength is concentrated in the neck and shoulders, which is why a cat around 60 kg can lift well over its own body weight vertically up a trunk.
