Kong vs Thorns

For the Lord of the Jungle knew that if his faithful companion fell into the clutches of Zu-jar-bolgani, he would be torn apart in seconds. Obediently, the magnificent lion broke off from his charge, then plunged into a thorny thicket, where the great anthropoid could not easily follow.
The imposing animal swiped out a hirsute paw, inserted it into the quivering thorn bush, and gave out a short, sharp exclamation of pain.
Withdrawing his hand, he saw that it was quilled with tiny thorns. These he attempted to remove with fingers too big and blunt for the task. Frustrated, he began sucking at them and spitting out the tiny tormentors.
