A Hedgehog Carrying an Autumn Wreath
The hedgehog appears in motion with a broad seasonal wreath resting over its back. Leaves, nuts, and fruits fill the wreath, surrounding the animal’s many quills with rounded and leafy forms. Its lively expression and the generous autumn arrangement give the page a playful woodland theme.
What Hedgehogs Do in Autumn
Wild hedgehogs spend much of their active time searching along the ground for small invertebrates. In cooler regions, autumn is an important period for feeding before winter hibernation. Their quills are modified hairs made from keratin, the same type of material found in human hair and nails.
