The rare Arctic Hedgehog


For our Southern friends, a snap that was forwarded to me of the rare and elusive Arctic hedgehog.

  1. What a horrifying and nasty beast! Able to conceal itself in snowdrifts and ice floes, ready to leap out snarling at passersby. In spring the hedgehog's white winter pelt is shed, replaced by a mossy green coat which provides camouflage for the animal during the short Arctic tundra summer.
