Hedgehog threatened by car. European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) threatened while crossing a road in front of an approaching car and its headlights. Hedgehogs are vulnerable to cars and other traffic in urban and suburban areas with little or no green spaces. When threatened or alarmed, a hedgehog curls up into a tight ball for protection. This done by contracting a sheet of muscle across its back. Photographed in the UK. | |
