Maybe we need to let a few million giant porcupines loose in the Everglades to take care of the invasive python problem. What could possibly go wrong? (^;

If you read the fuller version of the story in the Daily Mail, that is exactly what happened.

If something harassed/bothered the snake enough to make it want to flee, the snake would regurgitate the porcupine to make it easier to do so. Learned a painful and fateful lesson.

Be wise as serpents. If you think you may have swallowed a porcupine, STAY CALM. And this too shall pass.
