In Living on the Edge Hog, children will learn about the hedgehog’s struggle to survive and his endeavour to find a safe place to live, as well as how the hedgehog population is in dramatic decline.

The video can inspire the children’s own non-fiction writing, debate or poetry. It can also be used in science to discuss animals, their habitats and how they adapt to suit their environment.
