Notice how this tiger uses a leap and climb method and how little time it takes to get the bait, then off. If we have a similar animal here, it would use a similar method to get bait we leave, or put a catch up in a tree. I'm not certain we could say this is feline specific behaviour, but a successful behaviour shared among animals that use height.
We can also use this as a visual guide to help find clawmarks and scuffing from the leap, climb and drop.
I'm giving this some serious thinking..... 2 meter(?) leap is not a trivial distance...... hmmmm hmmmm
Cheers
