Hedgehog: Amazing Pictures & Interesting Facts for Kids The hedgehog is a member of kingdom Animalia belonging to the subfamily Erinaceinae. They are small spiny mammals that grow up to 30 centimeters in length. There are various kinds of hedgehogs and they can be found in different parts of Europe, New Zealand, Asia and Africa. There are a total of 17 species found all around the world. Hedgehogs are easily identified because of the spines on their back. These spines are actually hollow hairs made of stiff keratin. They are not poisonous like the quills of a porcupine and they do not detach from the hedgehogs’ body. The only time that it is normal for these spines to fall off is when their baby spines are replaced with adult ones. The process of this shedding or replacement is called quilling. Unless the hedgehog is sick, the spines should be intact on their bodies.
