Scotland’s Fattest Hedgehog Refuses to Go Back to Nature

Edinburgh, Scotland’s fattest hedgehog, has refused to return to the wild because she loves home food so much, May 16. The spiny mammal, seen next to an average sized contemporary, made headlines in July last year after tipping the scales at an astonishing 2.3kgs. (Photo: IC)
