The leopard trying to gorge on a porcupine - Sakshi Post

A video of a leopard trying to gorge on a porcupine has gone viral. The video shows greedy leopard at Kruger National Park in South Africa trying to chase two porcupines in order to eat them up. But after chasing halfway it leaves one and targets another porcupine. The video shows feisty porcupine trying to evade leopard.

The leopard is seen wriggling in pain trying to remove the quills stuck on its face and body. Porcupines are tiny self armored creatures whose quills act as a defense for them from their attackers. The video was captured by photographer Donovan Piketh and uploaded on YouTube. He said that he could sense that something weird would happen after seeing two porcupines running.

"As soon as the leopard saw them it changed into stalking mode and we knew something was going to happen," he said.
