Hedgehogs often appear in Slavic folktales - but I was surprised to actually see a live one wandering about near our building. Alister and I were walking back from the metro - and it was dark and my peripheral vision caught a large moving mound - too steady to be a rabbit - to big to be a cat and thank goodness not fast enough to be a rat - my LED key chain revealed a hedgehog happily rambling about and doing whatever it is hedgehogs do after dark.
Am still amazed to have seen one in an urban setting.

OMG cute!!
I remember loaning my purple nail polish in high school to the woman in charge of the two hedgehogs at the Oregon Zoo. She used it to freshen up the purple spot on the quills of one of the hedgehogs so they could tell them apart. ;-)
