As Cute As Camping Gets

This cheerful individual is a pleasure to be around, though we are left to ponder how he accomplished setting up the tent pegs. The miniature truck, the moss, and the small stockpile of teeny-tiny twigs for the campfire all come together to create the perfect campsite. All that’s left to do is bring in some tasty snacks.

More than utterly cute, hedgehogs are fascinating creatures. They’re nocturnal, big sleepers who hibernate, depend on their spines for defense, and—curiously enough—lactose intolerant. They’re called hedgehogs because they root through hedges in search of food. They love eating insects, worms, and even small snakes!
