Wait wait, are you telling me the US (the Americas?) don't have hedgehogs??
Nope. There used to be some that went extinct millions of years before humans arrived.
There are porcupines though, but I haven't seen them in the wild yet.
Surprisingly, porcupines and hedgehogs are not closely related
That's so interesting! Changes my perspective on an animal that has always felt like a perfectly normal neighbour everywhere I've lived (though seeing them is still kind of a rare thing).
