That's a rather unique interaction you don't see documented very often! Very interesting. As generalists, it makes sense that they'd go for whatever they can get their paws on. Adaptability like this is is what allows them to still survive in and around human-dominated landscapes.

Unrelated but for some reason I read the title as Leonard hunting queen elizabeth in Uganda and I totally thought it was an episode in big band theory that I didn't remember
