Hedgehogs dying

Now this might not surprise you, but it seems that hedgehogs really are rubbish when it comes to crossing the road.

In some parts of the UK, the number of hedgehogs have almost halved and researchers say it could be because the prickly critters can't cope in traffic.

Scientists found the animals tended to wait until vehicles were too close before trying to cross, then froze on the spot instead of trying to run away.

It's thought about 15,000 hedgehogs are killed on the roads every year.
