YAY, another themed free...

I talked about my difficult to do those things.
So, I will be more creative.

Today, I will talk about hedgehogs. I'm very simplistic for my themes.
I don't know if they are my favourite animals, but I like so much.
The hedgehog is a spiny mammal and his scientific name is Erinaceus europaeus.
According to the National Geographic: "Hedgehogs have a coat of stiff, sharp spines. If attacked they will curl into a prickly and unappetizing ball that deters most predators."
They have adapted to nocturnal life in the wild. We can find hedgehogs in Africa, Europe, Asia, New Zeland. But recently we are living a hedgehog's boom around the world, obviously, like exotic pets.
In spite,  domestic hedgehogs are hybrids, smaller than wild, and very cute animals.
I can talk about my own experience, 'cause I have a hedgehog and each one have their own personality. In 2010 my mom gave me one, and she was different 'cause she was an albino hedgehog. In those times in Chile there was not much information about these animals, even was so difficult to find an exotic veterinary surgeon. We don't have hedgehog food neither, so, they eat cat's food. My pet dies on November 8th, 2014.
But, I have good news (yass): today, we can find a lot of things related to these animals and have a hedgehog actually is very different. Since 2017, I have another hedgehog, but this time she's a salt and pepper hedgehog.
She's the most spoiled.
