Eolake, just for the sport: Would you rather be a hedgehog or a fox ?

Very cute! I want to touch his little feet and rub his wittle belly! :-D

According to George W. Bush, the Queen of the commonwealth realms was also “neat”.

I guess this means that neither hedhehogs nor the Queen leave stuff lying around, but instead put them back to their places after use, and in general maintain good order and cleanliness in their day to day lives. That's a likable quality in any mammal!

Yes, and so rare!

Anon: hard question. Foxes are hunted on horseback, but hedgehogs are hunted by trucks. I guess, given the numbers, I'd rather be a fox. (All false modesty aside, many do say I am one.)

Pam Ayres asks you to spare a thought for "'edge'ogs". Note to 'furrin' listeners - tha's a Hoxfordshire haccent.

"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing" ... Meaning; the hedgehog had one very good defense strategy. Now thanks to Eolake we must add: "until the invention of trucks."
Good luck to all !

Yep.
Cavalry was the ultimate weapon until somebody invented the city wall.
