Hedgehog
(Atelerix frontalis) Length with tail: 20cm
They are nocturnal animals and loaners. They feed on earthworms,
centipedes and millipedes as well as small mice, reptiles and frogs. When
frightened or in danger they roll up in a tight ball to protect their vulnerable
bellies.
They are endangered because of the use of pesticides by farmers.
