First name: JIN Animal species: Amur hedgehog Endangered (Red List Rating): LC Low Risk Species ■About Amur hedgehogs Amur hedgehogs can be found in some regions of East Asia. They are animals that prefer to act alone, but only in two during mating periods. The body of the Amur hedgehog is covered with long, sharp spines made of skin that serve as a self-defense function. When they feel danger, they curl up like a ball and turn their sharp spines outward to protect their head and stomach. Being nocturnal, they usually eat at night. It feeds mainly on insects, but can also eat small animals and fruits. ■About the animals of Calapau Feature 1 This is an interior object (stuffed toy) made for the purpose of protecting wild animals.
