Erinaceus europaeus

Indian Hedgehog

Europäischer Igel

Hedgehogs belong to the family of insect eaters. They often settle close to human residences and farms, where they hunt the numerous nests of mice. When in danger they form a rigid, prickly ball, which unfortunately does not serve them well in today's traffic. Utting/Ammersee, Germany
