We’ve all slapped an opossum at one time or another, but when this man tried to so, he found out the hard way that it wasn’t one - it was a porcupine.

Family man Antonio Rodrigues Mororó, 50, took action during a party at this home after one of his sons complained to him that his pregnant wife was afraid to enter the house because the animal was sat by the entrance.

Mr Mororó, from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, went to slap the creature away and got a prickly reaction.

Instead of scaring the animal, he ended up with 400 porcupine quills in his hand.

Despite going to the local hospital, where he received despite three shots of anaesthetic, the pain continued.

Mr Mororó was forced to get a tenanus jab and a course of antibiotics afterwards.

He is currently recovering (although with a hand full of holes).

The bigger question is why the fuck would someone feel the need to slap an opossum in the first place? :confused:

Since the o is silent wouldn't it be a opossum?
