Are lions sometimes injured by their prey?
There are records of lions that have been killed by sable antelope, kudu, African buffalo, giraffes, snakes and even porcupines. When a lion attempts to kill a porcupine, quills may become lodged in its mouth or paws, causing eventual death from infection or starvation.
