Hedgehogs sometimes perform a behavior called "self-anointing," where they cover their quills with saliva after chewing on strong-smelling plants. Scientists are still unsure why they do this! 🌱🦔

📜 Story (Fiction!) 😂

It was a crisp autumn morning, and Harold the Hedgehog was busy collecting fallen leaves outside his burrow. Thanksgiving was just a day away, and Harold had been chosen to host this year's feast. He adjusted his pilgrim hat, which was a little too big, and got to work. 🦔🍂🎩

Harold's first stop was his friend Sally the Squirrel's oak tree. "Can you bring your famous nut pie?" he asked. Sally nodded enthusiastically, her cheeks already stuffed with acorns. "Of course, Harold! I'll make extra for everyone!" 🌰🐿️✨

Next, Harold waddled over to the meadow to see Benny the Bunny. Benny was known for his carrot casserole. "Don't forget to bring the casserole tomorrow, Benny!" Harold reminded him. "I wouldn't miss it for the world," Benny replied, hopping off to his burrow. 🥕🐇🌟

As the day went on, Harold invited all the animals of the forest, from the wise old owl to the playful raccoon family. Each had something special to bring to the table. By sunset, Harold's tiny hedgehog burrow was decorated with autumn leaves, berries, and a garland of twinkling fireflies. 🌟🍁🦝

The next day, the forest came alive with excitement. Animals big and small gathered at Harold's burrow. The feast was laid out on a long wooden table: nut pies, carrot casseroles, berry tarts, and even a surprise mushroom stew brought by the shy deer twins. 🥧🍄🦌

Before they ate, Harold stood up on a small tree stump to give a speech. "I'm thankful for all of you," he said, his voice a little wobbly. "Together, we make the forest a beautiful and happy place." The animals cheered and clapped their paws, wings, and tails. 🦔❤️👏

As they enjoyed the meal, a sudden rustling in the bushes caught their attention. Out came a family of foxes who had just moved to the forest. "We didn't bring anything, but we wanted to say hello," said the father fox. Harold quickly made room for them. "There's always room at the table," he said warmly. 🦊🌟🍽️

The evening ended with songs and stories around a glowing bonfire. Harold looked around at his forest friends, his little heart brimming with happiness. This Thanksgiving wasn't just about the food—it was about being together. 🐾🎶🔥

As the stars twinkled above, Harold whispered to himself, "Best Thanksgiving ever," before curling up in his cozy burrow for a good night's sleep. 🌌🦔🌳
