The hedgehog is not a mammal but a small insectivore. There are 15 species of hedgehogs found in Europe, Asia and Africa. Hedgehogs have spines on their bodies made of stiffened hairs that they use to protect themselves. They roll into a ball when threatened. Hedgehogs are nocturnal and hunt for insects and other small animals to eat at night, sleeping during the day. This paper craft project teaches how to assemble a model of an African pygmy hedgehog, a popular pet species.

The hedgehog is a mammal, and is closely related

to the mole. There are 15 species of hedgehog


which inhabit Europe, Asia and Africa. Hedgehogs
have needle-like spines covering their bodies which
are actually thick, stiffened hairs, and they use these
to protect themselves from predators. Hedgehogs
usually roll up into a ball and sleep during the day,
then wake up after nightfall and begin hunting for
insects and other things to eat. This paper craft
model is based on the four-toed hedgehog (or
African pygmy hedgehog), a hedgehog popularly
kept as a pet.
