European Hedgehog Resting Under a Leaf

Fascinating Facts About Hedgehogs
European hedgehogs often seek shelter under fallen leaves and dense brush to stay hidden from predators during daylight hours. A single adult hedgehog carries around five thousand sharp spines, which are actually modified hairs made of keratin. When night falls, these nocturnal mammals use their strong sense of smell to forage for insects and snails in gardens and woodlands.
