5. A bit like a porcupine
Hedgehogs are about the size of a Guinea Pig, very prevalent in hedgerows in Britain, but unfortunately not very bright, you will more usually see them squashed on the road rather than alive. They are much cuter than porcupines and their spines don't stick into you.

11. Kind of sounds like the local version of skunks in this area of Oklahoma,
I can't believe how many you see run over here. I've wondered why - Is it because they're so used to scaring threats off, that they think they can do it to approaching cars? Then they learn the truth, but in a way that kind of limits passing the info on to their offspring.

6. Oh yeah. I forgot that. A hedgehog uses packaged, whereas a gopher

rolls their own. Plus a gopher generally doesn't have convenient liquor stores, nor electricity - so they tend not to buy electric keyboards.
Edit: typo

4. A hedgehog is a animal
that has thick quills all over its back kinda like a porcupine but much thicker. While a gopher is a burrowing animal I think belongs in the rodent family.

10. Basically...
They are the same, much as DU and Free Republic.

DU would be the gopher.

Free Republic would be the hedgehog.

So the difference is the hedgehog (like Free Republic) have a few more thousand pricks.

"a few more thousand pricks" indeed!
