I didn’t know what to post, so I panicked.

Cute ✅️
Spiky ✅️
Angry ❌️
They’re quite timid, actually. If they’re anything like here in Denmark, they’re completely silent and crepuscular, so you have to be lucky to spot one. In my 40 years I think I’ve seen 3-5 total.
But yeah, they’re adorable and it just so happens that the last time I saw one was just a few weeks ago and I got a picture 😁
Sorry about the blurriness, the tradeoff of Night Mode 🤷
Angry wasn’t the correct word for what I was trying to describe. Unafraid is more accurate. I’m used to things being very afraid of other animals because there’s a lot of them that might be looking to eat you. The only animals I’ve encountered like that are moles because they literally cannot see. There are foxes, large birds, plenty of things that I feel would just exterminate them but I guess there’s plenty of other food that the little spikey balls aren’t worth it. Coyotes here with eat literally anything. I’ve had them start coming towards wondering if I can be food. They would eat hedgehogs without hesitation. They eat porcupines which are angry and MUCH bigger and spikier.
Thank you for sharing hedgehog pic. It’s so cute. I’m jealous.
Well the last time I saw a hedgehog it was because my dog found it at night and barked at it. I heard a weird noise. It was the heart of the hedgehog. I could hear it 3m away. He definitely was afraid. I did put him out of the yard so the dog couldn’t get to it.
they remind of of echidnas aww
Can you believe people are following me around lemmy in order to downvote every post? Cute hedgehog but NO, POLITICS!
Oh, if you wouldn’t make this comment, I wouldn’t even notice that it was you who started this thread. Honestly, I think following around and downvoting is uncultured behaviour, but I find whining about something that doesn’t even affect your user experience in ways other than hurting ego… unpleasant, at the very least
Besides, weren’t you bragging about how glad you are to reach -50 and then -100? What’s the big deal then?
I’d guess, that hedgehogs come in a variety of different species and characters. We had a local hedgehog that woke up in the middle of winter and jumped people, mind you, it did that from an elevation so a couple of faces were hit. Besides that, in the regions with rabies they are carriers and should not be apprehended in the wild
