I’m guessing there were no winners here, only that the porcupine lost first.

Looks like a learned tactic to lay down next to the porcupine and swat at the underneath

Seems that way. I did animal rescue before and dealt with a porcupine once. They aren't that bad to handle if you go from their belly side. A lot of their quills can easily combed out of the way too. Im sure this big cat ended up with a few pokes but not as much as when you see dogs after a fight.

Quills have hooks so they can only go further in, not out. This means they can end up penetrating the brain or joints and ligaments, though this can take months or even years. Wildlife not having access to a vet makes for a very different outcome.

Thats very true. Animals dont have that luxury of always getting human help. Would be interesting to see how the cat fared in the end. Almost looks like it did get spiked a few times at one point.

It’s like going to In-N-Out Burger and being required to eat a ghost pepper before you can order a double double.

Fun fact: The leopard later died while attempting to finish the meal.

No source needed, if an animal get so many quils in it’s face it’s a matter of time before these quils migrate. And they go to the eyes en brain. They can even migrate to longs and the heart. So this was a death sentence.

I believe there's another video when you can clearly see a leopard that got a barb to his heart and did die. I believe this is a different one.

Porcupine must taste good to go through all that
