Hedgehog babies
The Erinaceidae family contains the hedgehogs and gymnures. As we all know hedgehogs are covered with sharp spines, even when they are babies (see picture). Gymnures have another defense mechanism, they produce a foul smell when being threatened. Did you know that hedgehogs are resistant to snake venom?two comments:
