Looks like leopard’s are more successful in encounters with porcupines than my dogs! Great pictures! Beautiful animal!

Join the club, Sam: last summer my two Labrador retrievers chased a porcupine AND a skunk on the same day. Such a mess… Here in Canada only pine marten (”fishers”) and wolverines can kill a porcupine sliding their heads under its belly and opening it with their claws. This leopard is very clever. What a magnificent animal. Beautiful pictures, Adam. Looking forward to visit Londolozi next year to see all this in real life.

I hope he doesn’t get an infection from the quills. He’s beautiful.

Great pics of one of my favorite leopards. Glad he was able to lose the quills.

Magnificent male munching on a meal–awesome!

How does a leopard get rid of porcupine quills by himself??
