Hedgehog Species Profile

The hedgehog is a member of the Insectivora order, and eats mostly insects. The back of the animal is covered with quills, which serve as a defense. Upon contact with a predator, the quills come loose and embed in the attacker’s skin. Hedgehogs have sharp teeth and pointed snout, and live a solitary life in the wild.
