Description: | This hedgehog skull shows the teeth of typical insect eating mammals in the Old World. They are in the form of a row of pointed teeth, suitable for grasping and biting into the hard outside layers of insects. They also eat slugs and earthworms. They live in woodland, but have adapted to garden life. Like the armadillos, they can roll up into a ball for protection by their spiny hairs.
