How it is even possible to "open" a hedgehog? I thought these guys are nearly invulnerable, unless rolled in the water.
(No, I won't be looking up the gory details in Youtube...)
- jballanc 11y agoI think you only need to do a image search for "badger claws" to get your answer: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=badger+claws https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=badger+claws
- gadders 11y agoYou might want to change to "British Badger Claws" so you don't get Honey Badgers.
- masklinn 11y ago> I thought these guys are nearly invulnerable They're not armored, they just have spines to discourage soft fleshy bits from getting too close. They're preyed on by large birds (some owls, golden eagles — >40% of golden eagle preys in Gotland, ~30% in Estonia), juveniles and sick individuals are preyed upon by dogs and foxes. Badgers are strong enough with long enough claws[0] that they can go through the coat, but AFAIK only bother to do so when very hungry. Also cars and trucks, hedgehogs are not car-proof.
