Well, I would specifically go hike and ideally camp(that’s not as simple as it is in the US) in more remote areas where they and other wildlife is. I still think it’s awesome that you’ve seen any. They seem so tiny and vulnerable. I’m scared they won’t be around much longer.
Roadkill sucks but where I live, road create entire ecosystems. The water runoff creates more vegetation, which brings insects, which brings small animals, which brings big animals. I know roads that support eagles and hawks that otherwise would not exist in the area.
Angry wasn’t the correct word for what I was trying to describe. Unafraid is more accurate. I’m used to things being very afraid of other animals because there’s a lot of them that might be looking to eat you. The only animals I’ve encountered like that are moles because they literally cannot see. There are foxes, large birds, plenty of things that I feel would just exterminate them but I guess there’s plenty of other food that the little spikey balls aren’t worth it. Coyotes here with eat literally anything. I’ve had them start coming towards wondering if I can be food. They would eat hedgehogs without hesitation. They eat porcupines which are angry and MUCH bigger and spikier.
Thank you for sharing hedgehog pic. It’s so cute. I’m jealous.
