Just a few days ago, a video of an intense fight between a porcupine and a snake from the wild surfaced on social media platforms. The 11-second-clip shared by IFS Officer Sudha Ramen shows the porcupine, who found itself in a fix after encountering the snake, not conceding to defeat. Instead, the rodent can be seen using its quills at the right time to fight the reptile. 

In the video, one can also see the snake slithering towards the porcupine in a bid to bite it, however, the rodent instantly turns its back. Porcupine’s quills, the sharp thorns, are also seen piercing the snake, while the reptile withdrew itself and turned away to escape. The IFS Officer, while sharing the clip also urged internet users to ‘watch and learn’.
