Last week, I was standing outside VG with some friends and we saw a hedgehog. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a hedgehog before, but there it was, scurrying along the ground. Well, I wasn't about to let this opportunity pass me by, so I whipped a towel out of my backpack (Arthur Dent would've been proud) and scooped him up. Here are pictures:
I've never caught a wild animal in the US, except for turtles and toads. I've certainly tried to catch small creatures like squirrels, rabbits, ducks, etc., but I've never succeeded. In Sweden I've caught a duck and now a hedgehog. I assume this is because the Swedish people are more peaceful and the animals therefore are more trusting. I'm probably destroying centuries of behavioral conditioning and disrupting the fragile balance of the wild animal population.
