Did you know?
Hedgehogs are small, spiny mammals found across Europe, Asia, and Africa, known for their distinctive coat of thousands of sharp quills and their ability to curl into a protective ball when threatened. Primarily nocturnal, they forage for insects, snakes, and small rodents and are beloved in folklore and popular culture for their endearing appearance and gentle temperament despite their prickly exterior.
