What is a Hedgehog?
Hedgehogs are small mammals covered in short, stiff spines that protect them from predators. They live in forests, gardens, and grassy areas across Europe, Asia, and Africa. When they feel scared, they roll into a ball, using their spines like a shield to stay safe.
Most hedgehogs live around 3 to 7 years in the wild and weigh between 1 and 2 pounds (about 0.5 to 1 kilogram). Their soft belly is covered in fur, and they have tiny black noses and round ears that make them extra cute. Hedgehogs are mostly quiet but can make snuffles or tiny squeaks.
They come out at night to look for food like insects, worms, and berries. Hedgehogs are great helpers in gardens because they eat pests, and they love cozy spots like piles of leaves or logs to sleep in. They may be shy, but they’re full of charm!
