Hedgehog Head Count Begins in UK
A huge hedgehog hunt called Hogwatch has begun, to find out how many of the prickly creatures there are in the UK.
The People’s Trust for Endangered Species is asking people to report sightings of the animals as they are worried hedgehog numbers are falling.
Some experts fear the number of hedgehogs in the UK has dropped by as much as 20% over the last four years.
Hedgehogs are thought to be under threat from farming and the loss of their habitat in towns.
