Prickly Customer

Marija Andric

If he looks a but prickly and hot under the collar, this escapee from a petting zoo might have a point.

Because the runaway porcupine is recovering after getting trapped in a sauna for five hours in Bad Leonfelden, Austria.

Staff at the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa health resort found he'd sneaked into the 100 degree sweatbox and couldn't get out.

"By the time we found him he was very tired and limp, even his spikes," said one member of staff.

Wildlife experts rehydrated the 30lb beast and reunited it with its owners at a nearby children's zoo.
