The game wardens call him Spike. This young leopard had attacked a porcupine and was rewarded with a porcupine quill darted in his nose. He looked so sorry for himself and we felt sorry for him. He tried to pull it out with his paw but unfortunately broke it. Either it will be become infected and will fall out on its own or it will prevent him from hunting as it could go further into his nose and would die of starvation. Survival in the bush is not easy.
