Introduce the life habits of hedgehogs.

Hedgehog is a heterogeneous animal, because it can't stably regulate its body temperature to keep it at the same level, so hedgehog hibernates in winter.

Hedgehogs are full of thorns except their stomachs. When in danger, it will roll into a ball with thorns. Its shape and gentle personality are lovely. Some species only have slightly larger palms, so some people in Australia keep them as pets.

Hedgehog's nose is very long, and its sense of touch and smell are well developed. Its favorite foods are ants and termites. When it smells the food in the ground, it will dig out the hole with its claws, and then put its long sticky tongue into the hole and turn around, so that it can have a full meal.

Hedgehogs live in bushes, can swim and are afraid of heat. Hedgehogs begin to hibernate in late autumn until the following spring, when the temperature will be warm enough to wake up. Hedgehogs like to snore. ?

Extended data:

Hedgehogs begin to mate and give birth in April every year, giving birth to 1-2, 3-6 each. Every spring after hibernation, hedgehogs look for mates. Before the female hedgehog accepts the courtship, the male hedgehog will stay with her for several hours, and then it will complete its mission.

The female hedgehog began to look for a safe and quiet place as a nest for herself and her baby hedgehog born 30 days later. The back hair of newborn babies is sparse and soft, which is ignored in the first two weeks after birth;

But after a few days, it can gradually harden and become a thorn. After 4-8 weeks of breastfeeding, the female hedgehog will teach it how to eat. Two months after birth, the mother hedgehog stopped taking care of the little hedgehog, leaving the little hedgehog to live alone. About 90% of hedgehogs live less than a year.
