Not something often seen. Sharp and well exposed, tells the story. I wonder what happened next, that porky has assumed the position and the lioness better find something else to do.

Great shot, I would love to see a confrontation like that. Fantastic light for the pictures as well!

Thanks for the positive comments. This lion was part of a pride of about 6 – 8 lions all of which had full tummies so were only interested in playing with the porcupine, although very cautiously.
