Porcupine kills leopard

A tussle between a leopard and an Indian crested porcupine ends in the death of the leopard. A single quill pierced the chest of the leopard, and after passing about 12 cm into the thoracic cavity, punctured the heart

Awesome video with an equally awesome analysis. It put me to think how could a lot of families have porcupines as pets. They are dangerous!!!!

@alokenv ....but these critters can be cute when they are at ease with you. Only when they are threatened do they have the potential to kill.

[sreesnake]

@alokenv ...a porcupine becomes dangerous only if it is intimidated. One brought up in the household would be as timid as a pet rat.

@Wassamattawityou ...I agree! Should have tried darker shades....Thanks.

ewww that is nasty why would they open the body of the leopard

[sreesnake]

@dantheawesome246 .....leopards come in schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act. In the event of death, it is necessary to rule out malicious causes (like poisoning). So a necropsy is mandatory.

@alokenv Regular house cats are dangerous too... ever take one to the vet. 90% of the time they try to kill you.

sad but it was a natural thing! the leopard didnt "listened" the warning and payed his price with is own life. Its an awesome defense i must say! And i didnt know that the quill was that thick !!!
