Fun fact! Many species of hedgehog, including the African pygmy hedgehog, have a bald patch on their head called the "reverse mohawk". This bald spot allows them to cross their quills in different directions when they pull their brow down, thus protecting their face. It also allows them to roll into a tight ball with no spot left unprotected! | Hedgehogs of Asgard
