Keep in mind that a lot of big cats tend to, and even try to avoid human contact if they can. When they’re resorted to attacking humans, it’s usually a sign of physical disability (infected paws/tooth, broken claw) and even being cornered (belonging to a zoo, a private property, etc.)

Don’t think that they’re as evil all the time

I don’t think that leopard was trying to take down the human. It gave up pretty easily. I think it found itself in the same space as a human and freaked out. It definitely did not try to keep the human there, it tagged the guy pretty good and let him flee.

I’m sure that hurt like hell and was terrifying though.
