ittle European mammal whose body is covered with prickles, the hedgehog is a nocturnal animal eating smallest animals (Slugs, lizard, rodent, spiders, caterpillars, snails, worms, little frogs, chicks…) and fruits or mushrooms. In winter, as food is getting rare, it hibernates. Hedgehogs are not officially threatened but its tendency to roll into a tight ball is the major cause of hedgehogs’ mortality. Moreover, hedgehogs move slowly, 3 metres per minutes (although blue hedgehogs are known to be quicker).
