It was only a couple of years ago that I learned hedgehogs run wild in Britain. I’m 54. No idea where I thought they came from. Spontaneous generation in American pet shops?
I felt you needed to see this

Huh? Hedgehogs are native to Europe, Africa and Asia. They are not native to the Americas.

I used to have a couple of hedgehogs as pets when I was younger and when I got my own place I decided to just let them run free in my apartment. It was so amazing to be chilling on the couch, watching TV and then a hedgehog scurries past.
I’m not generally for invasive species, but when I see huge murmurations of starlings this time of year I have a hard time being mad at them… I think I’d feel the same way if hedgehogs were introduced in the US.

I’ve never seen a hedgehog walk like that. They always walk with their snout to the ground, like a dog sniffing a trail.

I think that’s because they are sniffing for bugs? As opposed to this picture, where she has to keep her head high so the baby doesn’t just drag on the ground.

Right?! I can’t stop staring.
