Hairbrush
I didn't know what to post, so I panicked.

In Oakland California my train experiences include an opiate junky, on the boarding platform, taking their first poop in a week. Turd was as wide as a can of coke.
Ah, nature is amazing
I've always wanted to go to the uk to see hedge hogs. In the US they exotic pets and illegal in some states. Over there they just walk around people's yards being hedgehogs. They're so cute and spikey and angry. In the US the yard creatures like raccoons will steal your shit and bite you. Bears will straight up kill you. Rattle snakes get so big they're scary. Meanwhile in England they're fighting with pointy hamsters.
They're so cute and spikey and angry
Cute ✅️
Spiky ✅️
Angry ❌️
They're quite timid, actually. If they're anything like here in Denmark, they're completely silent and crepuscular, so you have to be lucky to spot one. In my 40 years I think I've seen 3-5 total.
But yeah, they're adorable and it just so happens that the last time I saw one was just a few weeks ago and I got a picture 😁
Sorry about the blurriness, the tradeoff of Night Mode 🤷
Angry wasn't the correct word for what I was trying to describe. Unafraid is more accurate. I'm used to things being very afraid of other animals because there's a lot of them that might be looking to eat you. The only animals I've encountered like that are moles because they literally cannot see. There are foxes, large birds, plenty of things that I feel would just exterminate them but I guess there's plenty of other food that the little spikey balls aren't worth it. Coyotes here with eat literally anything. I've had them start coming towards wondering if I can be food. They would eat hedgehogs without hesitation. They eat porcupines which are angry and MUCH bigger and spikier.
Thank you for sharing hedgehog pic. It's so cute. I'm jealous.
they remind of of echidnas aww
I'd guess, that hedgehogs come in a variety of different species and characters. We had a local hedgehog that woke up in the middle of winter and jumped people, mind you, it did that from an elevation so a couple of faces were hit. Besides that, in the regions with rabies they are carriers and should not be apprehended in the wild
I have lived in the UK (Gloucestershire towns, so quite rural) my whole life and I have seen 2 living hedgehogs, and one of them was in Germany. I have seen countless unliving hedgehogs on the road however. If you come expecting to see hedgehogs without specifically finding somewhere you know they will show up, you will probably be disappointed.
Well, I would specifically go hike and ideally camp(that's not as simple as it is in the US) in more remote areas where they and other wildlife is. I still think it's awesome that you've seen any. They seem so tiny and vulnerable. I'm scared they won't be around much longer.
Roadkill sucks but where I live, roads create entire ecosystems. The water runoff creates more vegetation, which brings insects, which brings small animals, which brings big animals. I know roads that support eagles and hawks that otherwise would not exist in the area.
Hedgehogs aren't that angry really. I saved one from the road once and he was pretty chill. Well as chill as possible being a really fucking spikey ball.
Isn't the proper Scottish spelling "fooking?"
No, that’s an English thing.
