SAN ANTONIO – Elmer the porcupine is apparently not afraid of big cats at the San Antonio Zoo.
The zoo posted a video of Elmer visiting the lions on Wednesday on Facebook.
The video, which can be seen in the player above, shows a lion pawing at the porcupine and following it up and down the window.
Facebook commenters were quick to joke about the encounter.
“With every fiber of (its) being that lion wants to kill that porcupine,” one commenter said, while another said, “She may think she wants to touch it until the quills get her.”
“Elmer lookin like a snack,” said another.
Other commenters said they loved to see the interaction between the animals.
This isn’t the first time Elmer’s met the zoo’s felines, though.
In TikTok videos posted by the zoo, Elmer previously paid the lions and Frida the Jaguar visits in November — and they were just as intrigued back then.
