Hedgehogs are the best 🦔

We adore hedgehogs

Hedgehogs are small mammals with cone-shaped faces, short legs and bodies that are covered with porcupine-like quills.
A hedgehog can have as many 6,000 quills on its body. When in danger, the hedgehog rolls into a ball so that the quills cover the entire area of their exposed body and protects the animal from predators.
Once they are in a ball, they must stay still. It is a myth that they can roll while curled into a ball.
