Hedgehog (Animal)

The hedgehog has had a close connection with people since the dawn of civilization, and has been an animal of fascination, endearment and cultural significance since the ancient Egyptians. The Romans regarded it as a weather prophet, and modern gardeners depend on the creature to keep their gardens free of pests.
Hedgehog explores how this and other characteristics of the small creature have propelled it to the top of a number of polls of peopleâ€™s favorite animals. People react with passion and enthusiasm for the hedgehog, as it is, quite unusually, a wild animal that one can connect with. When scared the hedgehog stays still, allowing a closer look. It remains one of the few creatures that people can get close to without the fear of an attack, or it running away at the slightest movement.
The hedgehog has spread through Europe and Asia to the foot of Africa, and is a prickly pet in the usa. The hedgehogâ€™s appeal and public accessibility has lead to it to be found on numerous products, from advertising to films and childrenâ€™s books. Instantly recognizable, benign in reputation, Hedgehog demonstrates that there is much to admire about this beautiful, and now threatened, icon of wildlife.
