Leopard Attacks Pair Of Porcupines And Learns Tough Life Lessons [Video]

A leopard may sit well above the porcupine on the food chain, but that doesn't always mean the cat will always have its way. Eina.

In one’s lifetime, there are few lessons that only need to be learnt once – and, for a Kruger Park leopard, one of those all-important life lessons was caught on camera.

Donovan Piketh was the man who recorded and shared the moment which saw a lonesome leopard hanging out, when a pair of porcupines decided to trot by.

However, instead of staying clear of them, the leopard “changed into stalking mode,” reports Times Live.

Then, this happened:

The leopard charged after one of the porcupines, and then decided to have a go at the other, but all it got out of this was a collection of quills.

The leopard spent a good few minutes trying to pull the quills out – as the porcupines walked away unscathed.

Eventually the leopard gave up on getting the last of the quills out, and walked off into the bush.

Watch what happens below:
