The clip was recorded by Hennie Bekker, 36 years old, in Kruger National Park (South Africa) showing a group of seven lions hunting together at night.
Seven young lions spotted and approached a porcupine that was moving alone in the grasslands. The lions immediately surrounded and tried to attack the hedgehog, but the hedgehog was also very skillful to point his sharp fur towards the lions at all times, making it impossible for predators to approach and hedgehog attack.
After a few minutes of trying, seemingly realizing that the hedgehog could not be turned into dinner, the lions agreed to leave and continue their hunt, and the hedgehog showed that lions are not always “Lord”.
Interesting wildlife world moment captured in Amakhala reserve, South Africa. At that time, a large hedgehog was wandering by the river bank and suddenly encountered a herd of lions. Immediately, the predators surrounded the hedgehog and tried to attack.
However, things are not that simple. With experience and a sharp back, the hedgehog is alone, but still able to “fight” and defeat the whole herd, which is much different in number.
In the wild, adult porcupines are also targeted by lions. But this rodent always knows how to defend itself. It will stand upright with spikes and a long, spiky tail towards its enemies, ready to injure or even kill lions.
After a few minutes of trying, it seemed that the enemy was “difficult”, so the group accepted to leave and continued their hunt. And the hedgehog has shown that, although alone, the lion is not always “the lord”.
