Nothing really. I guess insect enthusiasts will have one or two to find only here in Germany?
We’re relatively small and surrounded by other countries, I would be surprised if any species stays within this border.
When I moved to USA it blew my mind that there's no hedgehogs here naturally, I was so used to having them around I kinda thought they're everywhere. I miss them. Hedgehogs are cool.
Wait wait, are you telling me the US (the Americas?) don't have hedgehogs??
Nope. There used to be some that went extinct millions of years before humans arrived.
There are porcupines though, but I haven't seen them in the wild yet.
That's so interesting! Changes my perspective on an animal that has always felt like a perfectly normal neighbour everywhere I've lived (though seeing them is still kind of a rare thing).
Surprisingly, porcupines and hedgehogs are not closely related
