I’m posting cute animal pictures and facts throughout the day as a mental health service.
Holy crap, you guys, did you know that hedgehogs are resistant to venom? In fact, these cute and unassuming little wigglyboos enjoy eating venomous snakes. Seriously. You look at a hedgehog and you think, “Well, that’s a sweet helpless prey animal.” But no. Instead, they’re hanging out in social circles that include the honey badger. And, to go along with that Secret Tough Guy persona, hedgehogs are also illegal in many parts of the U.S. If your hedgehog lives in New York City, California, Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, or Maine, it is b-b-b-b breakin’ the law.
