Hedgehogs

[Dougie Do'ins]

They're Rats in fancy dress mate.

 

Is Siberian Hedgehog.

Weird. No hedgehogs in Australia (unless you count echidnas).

Echidnas look like hedgehogs and inhabit a similar ecological niche but they're not related. It's an excellent example of convergent evolution.

[Strontium]

Hedgehogs or badgers?

 

I'd start a poll but can never get them to work.

 

I like both but think I prefer badgers.

Sounds like the old GF animal tournament.

 

The correct answer is honey badger, by the way.

They're Rats in fancy dress mate.

Rats in fancy dress, rats with wings, rats with bushy tails.

Are all creatures related to rats?

The funny thing is that humans are actually more closely related to rats than hedgehogs are. Rodents are among our closest relatives, after apes and monkeys.

Giant squid FTW!

Manbearpig for life.

I've never seen a badger so they are mythological creatures to me whereas I seem to see a hedgehog at least once a week recently until the snow. Probably all asleep now in special hedgehog homes made by posh cunts that used to watch Blue Peter.

 

You wanna drive through Cheshire, mate. There's loads of them lying on the side of the road there.

Are we mice or men?

Hedgehogs aren’t rodents eh? I would have put ‘em in there with the moles.

I can't hear you, squeak up !

[Anubis]

They're coming for us. Don't say I didn't warn you.

In the last couple of years I've been lucky enough to get close to several different badger cubs.  Close enough to have them nibbling the hem of my jeans and pulling on my trainer laces.  The cubs are far more inquisitive than adults, if adults see you or get your scent they're offski.  I've got photos of cubs literally taken from standing right above them.

I read somewhere a while ago that the demise of the hedgehog is down to the fact that hedges are being replaced by fences.  The row of houses I live in now had a row of hedges round the front gardens years ago and there was always loads of the little fuckers.  Out came the hedges, in went fences and as a result I saw my first hedgehog in this street in August just gone for over 25 years.  And nobody would believe me.

Anyway, you know what they say about hedgehogs ?

They're all pricks.

[Bjornebye]

They eat all the hedge porn and grey dog-shit. They can fuck off as far as i'm concerned.

Yep.

Every single day a new one on the way to work.

Had one in the garden earlier in the year and a family of them pitched up at my mums in the autumn.
