hedgehogs
Small bristled mammals
Hedgehogs is the plural of hedgehog, a small nocturnal mammal covered in spines that rolls into a ball when threatened.
Native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, hedgehogs eat insects and small invertebrates.
They've become popular as exotic pets: We got two hedgehogs for the kids.
The name comes from their pig-like snouts and habit of rooting through hedges.
