Is that a Porcupine???

That's what I thought till I zoomed in. Hedge hog looks like to me.

Thank you - I never realized Hedge hogs were like that. I thought it was another name for Porcupine. I wondered why people were getting mini ones(I think) as pets.

It`s a simple hedgehog from the nearest forest. I taked it and return to the forest (he walked in the village, this is dangerous - here sometimes moving the cars).

Porcupine don`t live here, the climate is too cold ))
The hedgehogs often walk near the houses, sometimes they begin to live width the people as a pet, drink a milk and catch a small rats.
In the dacha of my grandfather we had some hedgehogs, they lived under an old barn.
In contrast to porcupines hedgehogs are completely harmless, in case of danger they simply folded in a ball.
In the winder the hedgehogs here sleep like a bears.

Thanks Pasha that is very interesting to learn. Now I can see why people would like little ones as pets.
