death match
some years ago in kruger park,i witnessed to a death match.
a leopard decided to get a complicate meal, an huge porcupine.
the battle continued for an hour.
sometimes the leopards die after the quills injuries,sometimes leopard wins... but one thing is sure,
the leopard can decide to abandone the fight whenever wants.
the porcupine not, it's too slow...it can just try to resist and to inflict pain to the enemy ,forcing the leopard to leave.
for the porcupine it's just a death match and will sell dearly the skin!
