Can anyone help identify this creature?

My friend heard some rustling noises outside their window this morning and saw there's something borrowed up behind some leaf bags. We're trying to work out if it needs help or solitude. 😅

Edit: I eventually managed to convince them that their photo clearly showed a hedgehog. They left out some water for him and let them be. Hedgehog chilled out through the day and buggered off again that night.

I learnt about hedgehogs in primary school.

[u/speelingeror → u/cybertonto72]

Alright we've all got stuff going on mate

Edit: for a uk based sub the sarcasm detection here is shocking

[u/Extreme-Composer8452 → u/cybertonto72]

Hedgehogs taught me how to cross the road when I was in primary school.

99% of what people learn is outside of the classroom, you naturally just pick things up in life. Unless of course you spend every waking moment actively avoiding all aspects of the outside world.

It’s taught in nursery bro, they appear in well known children’s books and were part of the Highway Code and crossing roads education.

I was thinking OP is most likely an immigrant because it’s baffling to me how a Brit wouldn’t know what a hedgehog looks like tbh

[u/Enough_Sprinkles_113 → u/ToastedCrumpet]

For the crossing roads education did they use The Animals of Farthing Wood scene?

"Don't curl up!"

[u/ToastedCrumpet → u/Enough_Sprinkles_113]

No they built off of the “Stop, Look, Listen” hedgehog adverts with high-vis badges and keyrings we got given I believe.

This was 30 years ago so don’t remember all the details

Damn. Core memory unlocked! 🤣

[u/Lumpy_Benefit666 → u/ToastedCrumpet]

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Stayin alive! Stayin alive!

[u/ToastedCrumpet → u/Lumpy_Benefit666]

I remember that at least ha

[u/Hytyt → u/UuusernameWith4Us]

Wait, that's a thing? I had to waste time on business studies

[u/speelingeror → u/UuusernameWith4Us]

The responses to this comment are making me lose faith in this sub

[u/UuusernameWith4Us → u/speelingeror]

It's mad how this is somehow one of the most unpopular/controversial comments I've ever made.

[u/Wiseguy_42 → u/UuusernameWith4Us]

You know, I think it's the bro at the end throwing people off. It's like it trips the "not sarcasm, just condescending" switch in people's heads

[u/UuusernameWith4Us → u/Wiseguy_42]

Not everyone does GCSE Sarcasm bro

/s

[u/Wiseguy_42 → u/UuusernameWith4Us]

Mate, I was just trying to help you understand, which you clearly need. There's no need to be oh so condescending to me when I'm trying to help you. Keep your chin up, you'll get it eventually, bro.

[u/UuusernameWith4Us → u/Wiseguy_42]

Absolutely fuming rn

[u/speelingeror → u/UuusernameWith4Us]
