Hedgehogs are small animals that typically have spines on their back. There are many different species of hedgehogs that live all over the world, from Africa to Europe and Asia. Hedgehogs usually live in forests, parks, gardens, farms, and suburban areas.
Hedgehogs feed on various insects, worms, and fruits. Hedgehogs are very useful for gardens and farms as they can protect plants from pests that can hinder farm development.
