How healthy is a cactus to eat?
It depends on which cactus is being eaten. Some are poisonous while others are beneficial and highly nutritious. Prickly pear pads are a winner as long as you get the right type.

Some prickly pear has been selectively reproduced to eliminate the spines and it is used as a human and animal food staple in desert areas, such as Mexico.

Why do hedgehogs have spines?
They're vertebrates, they're born that way. An animal looking like that and living like that has to have some sort of supporting structure, and for the hedgehog it's a spine. Or maybe you're thinking of the things that make them prickly, not the backbone. There are plenty of animals out there who would make themselves a meal of a fairly slow and harmless animal as a hedgehog, so the spines developed as a defence. If threatened the hedgehog curls up into a prickly ball, and anyone trying to bite or claw it end up getting hurt. THe hedgehog ended up taking that route instad of developing an ability to run, hide or bite back.
