Description: | The Hedgehog is a familiar sight all over Britain. It is a small, nocturnal mammal with a coat of sharp spines. Hedgehogs prefer areas with lots of dense cover. They are often found in deciduous woodland but have also adapted to suburban areas where there are lots of mature shrubs and trees. They eat a wide variety of insects and soil invertebrates such as earthworms. They are famous for their ability to curl up into a ball when threatened.
