Different hedgehog species

Here are some pictures I found from: http://fp.hedghogz.f9.co.uk/hedgehog/recognition.html which portray some of the more common hedgehog spieces.

Hedgehog Species

Image	Spieces	Note
	Spanish hedghog	The Spanish hedgehog, Erinaceus is seen in its typical rocky habitat. It is paler and larger than its British counterpart.
	African hedgehog	The African hedgehog, Aterelix, is found in deserts in the southern part of the continent, and has black and white spines and a striped face.
	African pigmy hedgehog	This is another African hedgehog, Paraechinus, found mostly in the north of the continent and in parts of the Middle East.
	The long-eared hedgehog	The deserts of the former Soviet Union are home to the species Hemiechinus. All desert hedgehogs have long ears.***

*** I have seen a reference where the Long-eared hedgehog was referred to as the Egyptian long-eared hedgehog.
