Some Hedgehog info:
A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the orderErinaceomorpha. There are 17 species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to North America; those in New Zealand are introduced. Hedgehogs have changed little over the last 15 million years.Like many of the first mammals they have adapted to a nocturnal, insectivorous way of life.
The name 'hedgehog' came into use around the year 1450, derived from the Middle Englishurchin', 'hedgepig' and 'furze-pig'.'heyghoge', from 'heyg', 'hegge' = hedge, because it frequents hedgerows, and 'hoge', 'hogge' = hog, from its piglike snout.
In the English-speaking world, hedgehogs were originally known as "urchins". According to the BBC
"This explains the meaning of 'sea-urchin', as these marine creatures have an appearance resembling the hedgehog. The phrase 'street urchin' also comes from hedgehogs, as both have a rather pugnacious look when they fix their beady eyes on you."
Hedgehogs are insectivores. They are not related to porcupines. Unlike other insectivores (such as shrews), hedgehogs have large eyes, which gives them a "cute and cuddly" appearance. Hedgehogs have poor eyesight, but a keen sense of smell. A hedgehog's quills do not come out.
Insectivores evolved during the late Cretaceous period about 100 million years ago. Insectivores were the first placental mammals to nourish their offspring inside the body of the female. Human beings are direct descendents of these primitive beady-eyed bug-eating animals. Other famous insectivores include both shrews and moles, and the hedgehog's kissing cousin the spiny tenrec of Madagascar.
