Summary

Whenever you look at a hedgehog, you have to smile. This charismatic little creatures is an absolute delight and are found in many parts of the world. In fact, there are 17 species of hedgehogs that live in Europe, Asia, Africa and....Aotearoa New Zealand. Unfortunately, hedgehogs are devastating to many native species in Aotearoa New Zealand and we touch upon this in this week's podcast. HOWEVER, everywhere else hedgehogs are actually critical omnivores that help bring balance to their ecosystems. There is no much to learn about these little creatures and just so much fun to learn about! Believe or not they have much to teach us and we hope you enjoy our latest episode on them.
