About this episode

This episode explores the unique characteristics and behaviors of hedgehogs, including their spines, hunting abilities, and hibernation.

In this episode, we learn about how hedgehog spines actually work, why hedgehogs can hunt venomous snakes without being hurt, what really happens to their body during hibernation, and a strange behaviour involving foam that scientists still can't fully explain.
