"The leopard slowly made his way out of the tunnel, during which time one of the porcupines ran off into the distance, while the other turned around and charged the leopard!", says the filmer.
"He raced towards the leopard, turning around at the last second to face his quills at the leopard, who fought back momentarily.
"The porcupine then made a break for it across the road and back into his home underneath it."

Go on the ultimate safari experience of riding trained elephants among wild game in the Okavango Delta area in Botswana at Abu Camp. You'll get to interact with the resident herd of 11 elephants by riding or walking with them. The experience is a journey through the eyes of the elephants and you'll get to know the personalities of each family member of the herd, from playful babies to precocious teenagers and doting mothers. Mud bathing, training and veterinary care are some of the activities you can observe during the three-night safari. You can also sleep out under the stars above Abu Camp's elephants on the Star Bed that is set high upon a wooden platform above the elephant enclosure.
