Badass porcupine repels a pride of 17 lions

This is honey-badger level badassery :D

Quote:

In late October, wildlife guide Lucien Beaumont came across the pride of big cats, including some youngsters, milling around an object of interest. "To my surprise, it was a rather unfortunate porcupine surrounded by 13 lion[esses] and four male lions. This is not an ideal place to be, especially if you feature on the menu of a lion!" he wrote on his blog. (Also see "Mongoose Fends Off Lions: Explaining Viral Video.") Beaumont began filming the encounter between the predators and prey, one "I have been hoping, dreaming and imagining for many years," Beaumont wrote. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the fearless rodent more than holds its own, flaring its quills and moving aggressively toward the lions, who eventually seem to decide that their curiosity isn't worth getting skewered.
