Eeeee! A wild hedgehog! That is so awesome - do you put out food for them?
-
So cuuuuute
-
Awww! Adorable!
-
I always like to see wild animals. We use to have a wild turkey in the yard :lol:
-
Awww!! I spotted a little echidna in the wild once but didn't have my camera on me. They are soooo cute!!
(I wonder if hedgehogs and echidnas are related, you'd think so... and how they ended up on different continents...lol)

It would seem like they're related, but no. Echidnas are related to platypuses and anteaters. Hedgehogs are related to moles and shrews.
But it is interesting how many closely related animals are separated by such vast distances. Like how you guys have all the cool marsupials in Australia and we have this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opossum in the U.S. It's the long-term of effect of the Earth's plates shifting over millions of years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea

We've put some cat food out a bit this week. The Fox seems to like eating the crusts we've thrown out for the birds in the day, lol!
Will try and get a photo of him at some point but he's quite shy.

What a cutie!

Cute!! We don't have hedgehogs :( we have other wildlife, but hedgehogs would be the icing on the cake!
Such little characters!
Love pkw xxx

Aaah! :D We had a hedgehog in the yard a couple of weeks ago too, it was the first hedgehog I had ever seen in my life, but unfortunately I couldn't see his face.

Cute little one! :heart:
My garden quite often has hedgehogs and some even spend nights in our garden, sleeping under piles of branches and leaves. Our neighbours dog once got really upset because one was in our garden and the poor little one was scared to move, because the dog nearly broke the fence to get him and barked loud. But luckily we saved this little fella. As soon as we let it go he walked to other side of the garden and set to sleep in a pile of branches. It was so cute and it wasn't even scared of us :lovey:

That's so cute! I wish I had a garden, but I don't so I've never actually seen a hedgehog in real life

Glad you are there to help it out.

Aw cutie. We've had to block access for hedgehogs after our doggies bullied one a couple of years ago. They wouldn't leave him alone so I had to take him through to next door's garden with gloves. The dogs followed me into the house so we shut them in... which is a good thing because I dropped him off under a bush next door and by the time I'd come back round he was in our garden again! So we don't get any wildlife now, except pigeons, frogs and bats.

update !!

They aren't related. Not even remotely - echidnas are more closely related to platypi (being monotremes), and hedgehogs are more closely related to shrews and moles. So they are very far apart relation-wise. They just evolved similar predator-evading techniques. (Sort of like how both bats and birds evolved flight - but are not at all related.)

The fox is beautiful!
-
Wow lucky! I've seen foxes before but we don't get hedgehogs here- they are soooooooo cute!

:fox: :fox: :fox:

Foxes are one of my most favorite-y animals EVER and the little hedgie is precious!!!!! I have been trying to capture pictures of animals that visit our apartments at night, a lot of them areee: cats, raccoons, Mediterranean geckos that hang around my lights to eat bugs, and the occasional opposum! Apparently we also have armadillos but I never see them alive walking around....usually common roadkill.
Best animal I have ever seen that came up to our house was when I lived in Minnesota we had STOATS!!!! The ADORABLE ones that are brown with a little white mouth and belly (in warmer months) and white with giant looking black eyes in winter. Ever since I lived there I have always wanted one, probably why I have two ferrets right now! :P Closest I can get to legally owning a stoat!
Nighttime animals are so fuuuuun! :yippee:
