animals

I remember occasionally finding hedgehogs in our garden in Leeds when I was a kid. We generally used to give them bread and milk, although they eat insects, snails, frogs, toads, snakes, birds eggs, carrion, fruits, mushrooms, grass roots. I was with an Iranian friend when she saw one for the first time, and that’s when I realised how very odd they look if you’re not used to them. They’re related…

Yes, I’m a day late. So shoot me. It’s been a very busy week. I find bats interesting but I never thought of them as cute until I saw pictures of baby bats. But of course, they’re baby mammals, and most baby mammals are cute. What with drinking milk and enjoying a cuddle. This one even has a teddy bear.
