Part III. Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions.
A. In Norwich, England, the first housing development designed for both hedgehogs and people has been
built. All through the gardens and fences is a network of pathways and holes installed just for the ancient,
spiny creatures. It’s the paradise that Fay Vass, chief executive of the British Hedgehog preservation Sciety,

calls ‘absolutely fantastic’. As for the developers they have reason to think the animal will help make home
sales fantastic, too. Part of the attraction is that many people simply love hedgehogs, particularly in Britain,
where children’s book writer Beatrix Potter introduced Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, a hegdehog character, over a
century ago. But part of the attraction is that hedgehogs are good for gardens, eating vast numbers of slugs
and other pests as they forage in the vegetation at night.
B. Recent sicientific studies about hegdehogs have helped explain misteries as varied as why hedgehogs apply
saliva to their entire bodies, how they have survived on the planet for 30 million years, why they chew toxic
toad skins and what secrets they may hold about evolution. As one of the most primitive mammals on the
planet, the hedgehog has been helping geneticists understand evolutionary relationship among mammals and
even uncover secrets of human genome. At Duke University, for example, sicientists chose the hedgehog and
14 other species to study the lineages of mammals. They determined among other things that marsupials are
not related to monotremes, which had been a subject of debate. Such questions are not just academic. ‘ If you
are trying to trace, for example, the evolutionary steps of foetal heart development to better understand how
foetal defects occur, it helps to know which mammals are related so that you can make accurate inferences
about one mammal from another mammal’s development’ says researcher Keith Killian.
C. Still, much about hedgehogs remains unknown. For one thing, scientists think they haven’t even
discovered all the hedgehogs species. ‘we know of at leat 14’, says hedgehog researcher Nigel Reeve of
Britain’s University of Surrey, Roehamton. ‘it’s almost certain that there are more species’. The 14 known
species are native to Africa and parts of Asia as well as Europe. Some hibernate through cold winters in the
north. Other tolerate desert heat near equator. Some live in urban areas, adapting well to living in close
proximity to humans. Other live in areas that rank among the most remote places on the planet.
D. Hedgehogs spend much of their free time alone, Reeve says it would be a mistake to think of them as
solitary. ‘ Hedgehogs do approach each other and can detect the presence of others by their scent,’ he says ‘ it
is true that they don’t usually interact at close quarters, but that doesn’t mean they are unaware of their
neighbours. They may occasionally scrap over food items and rival males attracted to a female may also have
aggressive interactions. Still, it’s fair to say that, in adulthood, hedgehogs meet primarily to mate, producing
litters of four or five hoglets as often as twice yearly’.
E. Adult hedgehogs eat just about any thing they can find: insects, snakes, bird eggs, small rodents and more.
Vegetarians trying to understand gum diseases in domesticated hedgehogs have concluded that the varied diet
of wild hedgehogs give them more than nutrition- the hard bodies of insects also scrape the hedgehogs’ teeth
clean.
F. All hedgehogs also share the same defence mechanism: they retract their vulnerable parts- head, feet, belly-
into a quill covered ball, using special skin down their sides and over their heads and feet. Any perceive d
threat can make them roll up, including the approach of a biologist, so researcher have invented a new
measurement for the animals: ball length. Young hedgehogs have a few extra defence strategies. “One is to
spring up in the air” says Reeve. “ A fox would get a face full of bristle. They make a little squeak while they
do it”. Evidence suggests that hedgehogs may also add unpleasant chemicals to their quill to make them even
less appealing. In behaviour that may be unique for a vertebrate, they chew substances laden with toxins and
then apply frothy saliva to their entire bodies. In one 1977 study, human volunteers pricked themselves with
quills from hedgehogs that had coated themselves after chewing on venomous toad skins. The volunteers
found those quills much more irritating and painful than clean ones.
G. However, every year, many thousands of animals die on roads in Europe and elsewhere as they go about
their nightly business. Along with intensive farming and pesticides, road kill has taken its toll on hedgehogs

populations. One 2002 study found the animal numbers had dropped between 20 and 30 percent in a single
decade. To help combat the decline, the British have established special clinics for injured hedgehogs can
cope with cattle grids. Recently, they even persuaded McDonald’s to alter the packaging of its McFlurry ice-
cream container, which had been trapping foraging hedgehogs.
H. Ironically, for centuries the English considered these animals as vermin. Even 50 years ago gamekeepers
were killing as many as 10,000 a year thinking they were no more than bird- egg- eating pets. In some places
today, scientists are coming to the same conclusions all over again. In the 1970s, hedgehogs were introduces
to the Hebrides Islands of Scotland to help combat garden slugs. With no natural enemies there, a few
hedgehogs soon turned into thousands. Wildlife researchers have watched the hedgehogs reduce the numbers
of rare ground- nesting wading birds by feasting on their eggs. Efforts to cull the animals in the past two years
have upset Britain’s conservationists who have countered with strategies to relocate the animals.
