Hemiechinus auritus - The long-eared hedgehog has distinctive long ears to dissipate heat and to help in locating insects, the hedgehog’s primary food. The long-eared hedgehog goes through one breeding cycle per year, usually produces 2 to 3 young. The pups are born without a full set of spines, but there are some lodged under a protective membrane. As this coating begins to loosen and fall away, the quills begin to emerge and stiffen up. Within two weeks of birth the pups will have a full set of functioning quills.
