Cute Hedgehog

Hedgehog has also enemies. A fox may drop a hedgehog in water to force it to unroll and swim; then the fox kills the hedgehog by a bite to the head. The European Eagle Owl can swallow a hedgehog whole.
The most common pet species of hedgehog are hybrids of the White-bellied Hedgehog or Four-toed Hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris) and the North African Hedgehog (A. algirus). It is smaller than the European Hedgehog, and thus is sometimes called the African Pygmy Hedgehog. Other species kept as pets are the Long-eared Hedgehog (Hemiechinus auritus) and the Indian Long-eared Hedgehog (H. collaris).
