HEDGEHOG (kòa@r-poæt, juja-tig@i, ±ula), member of the Erinaceinae sub-family of the Erinaceidae family of insectivores; animals the size of a small rabbit, the hairs of the upper body of which are modified and clumped to form stiff, sharp spines.
A sheet of muscle beneath the skin of the back keeps these spines erect and also allows the animal to roll into a defensive ball, thus protecting its head, limbs, tail, and belly from attack.

rat-shrews, collectively forming the family Erinaceidae, differ structurally by the broader ring made by the tympanic, the complete zygomatic arch, the five-cusped broad upper molars, and the presence of a short pubic symphysis.
interest, for the hedgehog-tribe (Erinaceidae) is at the present day an exclusively Old World group.
The discovery of the fossil American species, which has been made the type of a new genus under the name of Protherix, serves to strengthen the view that the northern countries of the Western and Eastern hemispheres form a single zoological region; and that formerly there was comparatively See also:

 Eurasian Insectivores and Tree Shrews - Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan, 1995: Chapter2/1
Van Valen (1967) considered the Order Insectivora to be restricted to the families Tupaiidae, Macroscelididae, Cynocephalidae (now in the order Dermoptera), Erinaceidae, Talpidae, Nesophontidae, and Soricidae.
In a more recent review, McKenna (1975) elevated the Insectivora to the rank of a grandorder containing two orders: the Erinaceomorpha, with the family Erinaceidae; and the Soricomorpha, with the living families Talpidae, Nesophontidae, Soricidae, Solenodontidae, Tenrecidae, and Chrysochloridae.
The Macroscelididae were placed in a separate order - the Macroscelidea which, together with the order Lagomorpha, was put in the grandorder Anagalidia.
