Profile of a Hedgehog beside Autumn Leaves
Hedgehogs are small nocturnal mammals recognized by their protective coat of spiky quills along their back and crown. In autumn, these animals spend active evenings searching through fallen foliage for food and gathering materials to construct warm nests for winter hibernation.
Purpose of Hedgehog Quills
A hedgehog possesses thousands of hollow spines made of keratin, the same protein found in human fingernails. When threatened by predators, strong back muscles allow the hedgehog to roll tightly into a sphere, pointing all spines outward to protect its soft face and belly.
