Best Answer

There are actually 14 known species of hedgehog - out of those, only 4 are found in Africa. Those are -


  • Atelerix albiventris - The 4-toed or white-bellied hedgehog, and the type that is most commonly kept as a pet.
  • Atelerix algirus - The Algerian hedgehog (Not to be confused for the type of coloring seen in the White-bellied hedgehog; this is a totally different species.)
  • Atelerix sclateri - The Somalian Hedgehog
  • Atelerix frontalis - The South African Hedgehog
