Did you know...? The modern hedgehog has no close relatives amongst other mammals...? It may have distant links with moles & shrews but it belongs to a family all of its own and has developed along a separate evolutionary line for millions of years! 🦔 🧠 😮 📷 Christopher Morgan #FridayFact

🦔 Hedgehogs travel long distances each night — but fences and walls cut their routes short, stopping them reaching vital habitat. 🧱 The fix is simple: add 13cm x 13cm square holes in fences to create Hedgehog Highways linking gardens so ‘hogs can roam freely! 👉 buff.ly/O0EAlio
