The post that was quoted here has been removedThe Serval of the African savannah (like a cross between a leopard and a domestic cat) has the highest kill rate of any known cat (50% success).
It has be recorded jumping 6 metres into the air from a stationary crouched position to take out birds. Thats 3 tall humans high.
I also watched a documentary once where one was attacked by a Leopard and it back flipped over the attack. Not once but 3 times, in the blink of an eye (they had to slow the footage) before jumping into a river to escape. It made it.
Wouldn't fancy the Magpie much.

There were 23 of them when it ended and the lion just had a few flesh wounds. Probably didn't live much longer after that but Christ, it redefined the phrase "going ballistic"!

Then again, the Zebras aren't weak either if they get to fight in the river:
