The hedgehog is a familiar small animal to most people because it is unique for its protective spikes and its defence of rolling up into a tight ball for protection. Yet not many people get to see them actively living their lives because they are nocturnal, only becoming active at night. It is sad that the only hedgehogs people normally see are dead ones, as they are very vulnerable to being hit by cars as they wander along country roads. This story is to show how a female hedgehog called Erina survives, and despite the dangers lives her life just doing what hedgehogs do.
