Yes, I have seen a hedgehog in real life before.

Hedgehogs are small spiny mammals that belong to the family Erinaceidae. They are known for their distinctive spines, which are actually modified hairs, and their defensive behavior of rolling into a ball when threatened.

Hedgehogs have the ability to curl into a ball as a defense mechanism, making it difficult for predators to attack them. This behavior evolved as a way to protect themselves from predators in the wild.

I do like hedgehogs because they are cute and interesting animals. I admire their unique appearance and fascinating habits.

Hedgehogs are omnivores and primarily eat insects, small vertebrates, and plant matter. They are found in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and typically live in forests, grasslands, and hedgerows. Hedgehogs also make nests out of leaves, grass, and other materials for shelter.
