Two Cases of Fatal Leopard Attacks from Botswana

This case report details 2 recent fatal leopard attacks on herdsmen at Zobidao Ranches in Botswana aged 24 y and 58 y. The younger man was attacked while searching for cattle, and the older man was killed while pursuing the leopard. Both men sustained multiple deep and superficial injuries to their necks, scalps, and limbs consistent with leopard attack patterns, leading to death from massive blood loss due to multiple injuries. The findings reinforce the potentially lethal nature of leopard attacks and the need to educate humans to avoid leopard territories as well as not to engage with them.
