| Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews family Soricidae, with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and they have changed little over the last 15 million years.Like many of the first mammals, they have adapted to a nocturnal way of life. Their spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated porcupines, which are rodents, and echidnas, a type of monotreme. |
