dyrearten

Dyrearten, also known as the European hedgehog, is a small mammal native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is characterized by its spiny coat, which is adapted for protection against predators. The hedgehog has a round body, short legs, and a long, flat snout. Its most distinctive feature is the 7,000 to 17,000 spines that cover its back, which are modified hairs that can be erected to deter predators. The hedgehog's diet primarily consists of insects, worms, and other small invertebrates, which it locates using its keen sense of smell and touch. It is a nocturnal animal, spending most of its time in burrows it digs underground. Hedgehogs are known for their defensive behavior, rolling into a ball when threatened, and using their spines to protect themselves. They are solitary animals, except during the breeding season. The European hedgehog is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, but it faces threats from habitat loss and human persecution. Conservation efforts are in place to protect this species and its habitats.
