Habitat
The European hedgehog is found in woodland, meadows and grassland, favouring border areas between these various habitats. Now, few hedgehogs reside in truly wild, remote regions. Instead they frequent the green edges of areas inhabited by humans. They are common in orchards, vineyards, farmland, parks and gardens, including those in urban areas. Their range extends to elevations of up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft) in pine zones, however they are not found above the tree line.

Famous quotes containing the word habitat:
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”

“Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”
