Leopard scuffles with porcupine near Satara

Posted by Anita Froneman on 3 August 2021

Never a dull moment in the Kruger National Park! Mariette Landman recently came across a mischievous sub-adult leopard having a go at a porcupine near Satara.

The leopard didn’t seem too aggressive, but rather curious and playful. It got a slight injury to the paw after meddling with the porcupine. After a few minutes of scuffling, the leopard called it quits and both animals went on their way.

‘After about 90 min, both walked away,’ Landman said. ‘What privilege to experience this.’

Take a look at the dramatic sighting:
