Hedgehogs

These animals know what's up. They know your secret. They know you're in on the joke. They know how to close their eyes one at a time. They know how to be adorable. They know how to wink.

Feeling a little blue? Struggling to get out of the dumps? We’ve got the perfect pick-me-up solution for "hump day" or any day —hedgehog GIFs.

There are tons of animals that are highly underrated and go unnoticed way too often. Do baby anteaters or giraffes ring a bell? However, there is one animal that tops the list-- hedgehogs.

"Only one hedgehog in history has farted. That is how the universe began." There are lots of things to learn about hedgehogs in this video from Ze Frank. Oh, and lots of footage of hedgehogs as well. Cute AND informative.

Since Sonic is the only hedgehog we've been previously acquainted, this has to be our second favorite hedgehog. Plus, Sonic would be able to get his head out of a toilet paper roll.

Is that a hedgehog on the floor or are you just happy to see us? This dog is so excited and/or anxious about the prickly brown pile on the floor that he's decided to skip today's walk and just run in place. In reality, we think he's probably trying to dig a hole so he can expose the hedgehog's soft, defenseless underside but that's not nearly as cute to think about. Thank goodness for laminate
