He REALLY didn’t think about that! Leopard vomits after іпteпѕe fіɡһt with porcupine and ends up with furry fасe and spends hours licking woᴜпdѕ
This hungry leopard got more than he bargained for after trying to pounce on a porcupine – and ended up with a face full of prickly quills.
The big cat looked like it was ready to throw up as he tried to pull the spiky quills out of his face after picking a fight with the wrong animal.
Photographer Helgard de Villiers caught the scene on camera while photographing the Animals in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Prickly: The leopard came off second best after a ‘huge fight’ with an angry porcupine in South Africa’s Kruger National Park
He said the two animals became embroiled in a ‘huge fight’ behind some bushes before the leopard emerged licking its wounds.
‘I saw the leopard approaching through the bush and noticed that he was aware of something to the right of him,’ Mr de Villiers said.
‘He suddenly charged and two Porcupines scattered.
‘The leopard went for the biggest one and got hold of him using one of his paws.

Licking his wounds: The leopard could be seen in ‘a lot of pain’ as it emerged from its brush with the porcupine
‘There was a huge fight, most of which took place behind a bush.
‘The next thing I knew, the leopard then emerged, obviously in a lot of pain and it took him more than an hour to take out numerous quills.
‘He was lucky to live and tell the tale but he definitely came off second best this time. It was amazing to see.’
Still standing: The leopard went for the biggest porcupine it could find and got hold of him using one of his paws
Back on track: The leopard lived to tell the tale after removing spines from its body.
