Name: ABBY Animal species: Cape hedgehog Endangered (Red List Rating): LC Low Risk Species ■About Cape Hedgehog The most striking feature of the Cape hedgehog is its sharp, pointed spines that cover its body like armor. Adults have about 5,000 spines like these small needles. These are actually altered body hair, which is prepared to protect against large predators. Cape hedgehogs are nocturnal. At night, they leave their lush daytime retreats and, relying on their excellent sense of smell and hearing, go on adventures in the open air. They can defend themselves from most predators, but there are large owls that prefer to eat hedgehogs, such as the black-tailed owl. ■About the animals of Calapau Feature 1 This is an interior object (stuffed toy) made for the purpose of protecting wild animals.
