Porcupine vs. Lions | National Geographic

if someone asked you to think of a
magnificent hunter chances are Alliance
event they have virtually no predators
the earth is their buffet table
well with at least one exception this
African crested porcupine is surrounded
by young lion cubs the adults are too
smart to fool around with this small
piece those quills may be modified hairs
but they are needle-sharp strong and
there are plenty of them but the adults
know is that porcupine needles can
actually pierce the flesh of life and
these wounds could even kill it
nevertheless a porcupine is a juicy
delicacy and these curious comes look
for a way to get a paw under it flipping
an attack but the prickly porcupine
fends off the Cubs
and eventually good sense wins out over
hunger the victorious porcupine moves
off yeah king of the jungle big deal
[Music]
this porcupine has to walk through a
pride of adult lions they’re interested
but once again those quills give the
porcupine the equivalent of an
impenetrable missile defense shield and
this pride of lions doesn’t have much to
be proud about today
