Why doesn't you 'splain it to all us ign'ant folks, Rudyard?
Well, I reckon it might mean something like:
"When an old dog decides to sleep his years out by what was once probably a tree and is content to gnaw on now useless bones -- panthers, while dangerous in their own right, might do well to not let vultures pull them close enough to find out if the old dog still has some bite left in him."
Have a nice day now, y'hear?
