Description
The hedgehog has long been a creature of fascination and cultural significance. Since ancient times, humans have drawn close to these small, spiny animals without fear of attack or flight. This book explores the natural and cultural history of hedgehogs, examining their evolution, behavior, habitat, and diet, as well as their current endangered status. From its origins in Europe and Asia to its spread into Africa, Hugh Warwick describes the hedgehog's remarkable journey. He also considers the animal's appeal, accessibility, and status as a pet in many countries, looking at how it has appeared in advertising, films, children's books, and games. This fascinating look at these prickly animals sheds new light on their ancestors, including those featured in popular culture. By exploring the complex relationship between humans and hedgehogs, this book offers a unique insight into the natural world and our place within it.
