Last Thursday, 2nd February, was Hedgehog Day 2017! We may have missed it but Clishmaclaver just couldn’t resist posting some amazingly cute photos of baby hedgehogs. I mean, c’mon, there’s a hedgehog riding a mini skateboard… <3 What more could you possibly want? 😀
All photos are taken from: Pinterest
See Days of the Year for more – “Ouch! Hedgehog Day highlights these loveable creatures but heed this word of warning, don’t get too close. As we all know hedgehogs are covered in spines but what you may not have known is that these spines are actually hollow hairs stiffened by keratin. Hedgehogs use their spines as a defense mechanism when under threat by rolling into a tight ball so all the spikes point outwards, what is less well known is that they also use them for cheese and pineapple during cocktail parties (there is yet to be any photographic evidence of this).” 😀
