Some animals have defining traits that are pretty difficult to ignore. Just as we associate giraffes with their long necks or octopuses with eight arms, hedgehogs are easily identified by their prickly spines — and we wouldn’t know what to do if we saw one without them.
That’s why Nelson the hedgehog is such an unusual, special creature. For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, he doesn’t have any spikes, leaving him completely bald… yet that doesn’t make him any less adorable!
