Dragons vs Panthers

As a kid, I was always fascinated by both dragons and panthers. Dragons, with their majestic wings and fiery breath, and panthers, with their sleek bodies and powerful claws. I always wondered which one would win in a fight.
Now, as an adult, I know the answer: it depends.
Dragons are generally larger and stronger than panthers. They can fly, breathe fire, and have thick scales that protect them from attacks. Panthers, on the other hand, are faster and more agile than dragons. They are also excellent climbers and can use their claws and teeth to inflict serious wounds.
In a one-on-one fight, the dragon would probably win. But if the panther was able to surprise the dragon, it could possibly kill it with a quick attack to the neck or head.
Of course, there are many different types of both dragons and panthers, so it is impossible to say for sure who would win in a fight. But I think it would be a close matchup, and either side could potentially win.

Here are some specific examples of how a dragon and a panther might fight:

A dragon might use its fire breath to attack a panther from a distance.
A panther might use its speed and agility to dodge a dragon's attacks and get close enough to attack with its claws and teeth.
A dragon might use its tail to sweep a panther off its feet.
A panther might use its climbing abilities to climb onto a dragon's back and attack its neck.

Ultimately, the outcome of a fight between a dragon and a panther would depend on a number of factors, including the size, strength, and skill of the individual animals involved. But I think it would be a close matchup, and either side could potentially win.
So, who do you think would win in a fight between a dragon and a panther?
