Nov. 21 was National Hedgehog Day, but every day should acknowledge these magnificent little creatures. Here are eleven reasons why they're worth celebrating.
1. They come in all shapes and sizes.
The fattest hedgehog in the world is named Regina and has her own Facebook page called The Regina Monologues.
2. They love nature.
I mean, obviously, since they're part of nature. Look at him rock those flowers.
3. A group of hedgehogs is called an 'array.'
Which is a cool fun fact.
4. Their fashion is on point.
I don't think that I could wear a hat that well.
5. They'll never let you spend Valentine's Day alone.
They just want to love you.
6. They are mostly immune to snake venom.
They can beat up vipers like Popeye the sailor man.
7. They understand your constant craving for Italian food.
And they will help you satisfy it.
8. Hedgehogs are also bookworms.
They all have very good taste in literature.
9. They'll keep you company when you run errands.
Just stick them in the kid's seat and they're good to go.
10. There's a hedgehog convention
This includes a judged section (like a dog show) but also acts as a place for hedgehog lovers from all over to unite, swap stories, and meet hedgehog celebrities like Regina (mentioned above).
11. They're always ready for an adventure.
Even though sometimes that just means exploring a sock.
Basically, hedgehogs are majestic and lovable creatures that deserve to be celebrated every day of the year.
