I live in a rural location & I know from conversations I have had, that some of the local cunts actually aim to run them over for 'sport'
Karma, come on in & do your thing...

You do feel obliged to look after the little buggers
There again I'm old enough to remember Red Star...
Haven’t heard the term ‘hedgepig’ in years. It was reasonably common where we used to live in West Sussex.
Sadly, not a good picture. I was very late to check in to my pub in North Yorkshire - Giggleswick in fact, which has to be the best place name I have ever heard of other than the immortal Woolongong in NSW or Tasmania's Nowhere Else - and afraid that I'd be locked out of my room, so when I met this little chap I took a quick snap with my shirt-pocket camera and hurried onwards.
Bugger it, I had a far better gear with me (5DSR and 100-400 II) and all I had to do was take two minutes to dig it out of my bag and (most important of all) lie down on the road to get on a level with the subject. But I didn't and now I regret it. I know now that my accommodation wouldn't have cared if I'd been another hour, I'd have still had a bed for the night.
Oh well, it's all water under the bridge now. And I have actually seen a hedgehog, which is something I didn't expect to see.
No relation at all, of course, and nothing even slightly in common, not even diet, the only similarity is the spines.Mind you Echidnas are much larger. We see them here on our property in southern Tasmania every now and then. They wander about the countryside looking for ants to eat. Or ( at this time of year) looking for sex, of course.
How do Echidnas have sex I hear you ask?
Very carefully!
