Look, but don’t touch

Join us for a trip across the pond as we take a moment to examine the prickly European hedgehog. Our friend in today’s photo is in Sussex, England, but European hedgehogs are widespread across the continent. They’re thought to be the largest and heaviest of the hedgehog family. A nocturnal creature, the hedgehog can often be found in gardens snacking on its preferred diet of insects.
