The hedgehog lives in open forests, in hedges, and near settlements and in public parks, in Asia and Europe. Also, there is an African Pygmy Hedgehog that can be found on the savannas and semi-arid areas of the northern half of Africa.

It has no role it is just a bi-product as such.

-another view-

I don't have an answer as to the hedgehog's role however every creature in an ecosystem plays a role that influences other creatures in that ecosystem.

-different view-

im not entirely sure what a small, blue, and insanely fast ring-collector has in part of an ecosystem, but im sure the other type of hedgehogs help keep insect populations in check and spread fruit seeds.

Hedgehogs, otherwise known as hedgepigs, furze-pigs and urchins, are actually not pests. Their dung is like a fertilizer and they eat snails and other pet-insects.

How does a biogas plant work?

"A centralized biogas plant assists surrounding farmers in their disposal of animal manure by digesting it in order to create a homogeneous fertilizer. In addition to the animal manure, the plants also use organic material from slaughterhouse, fishing industry tanneries, breweries, dairies, oil mills, and the drug industry to produce the fertilizer. The mix is normally approximately 80% animal manure and 20% organic material. The farms that provided the animal manure can use the fertilizer or it can be sold to any farm or industry wishing to replace chemical fertilizer with a cheaper alternative. Biogas plants also produce a gas through an anaerobic digestion process. Heating and power plants can use the gas produced to produce to create energy. Generally the raw waste material is transported to the biogas plant for disposal. The waste then undergoes anaerobic digestion." FROM: BIO-GAS PLANTS AND HOG FARMING IN NORTH CAROLINA


What are the smallest organisms belonging to animal kingdom?

Strictly speaking, the smallest animal in the world would be an amoeba. Amoebas are unicellular organisms, which means they are comprised of only a single cell and are classed in the animal kingdom under Protozoa. So, technically speaking, Amoebas are actually animal-like protists classifed in the kingdom Protista, and thus not animals.However many people do not consider these to be "living creatures", despite their inclusion in the animal kingdom. The other smallest animals, in order of there size, are:The smallest insects are the male parasitic wasps. They measure only 139 micrometers in length. The females are around 40% larger than the males. These are the smallest animals, when amoeba and the like are not included.The smallest beetle belong to the Nanosellini tribe. They all measure less that 1mm in length. The smallest in Scydosella musawasensis at 300 micrometers long.The smallest animal with a backbone is a species of fish, known as Stout Infant Fish. It measures just about 7mm in length and is found in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.The smallest amphibians are the Monte Iberia Eleuth and the Brazilian Gold Frog. Both measure around 9.6mm to 9.8mm in length.The smallest reptile is the Jaragua Sphaero, also called Dwarf Gecko. It measures 16mm long.The smallest bird is Bee Hummingbird, as the measure around 5 cm in length.The smallest mammal is Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat, also known as the Bumblebee Bat. It is found in Thailand and it only measures 30mm to 40mm.bird : humming birdinsect : antThe smallest animal would be the ameba.And if you are referring to the smallest "mammal", the correct answer would be The Shrew.
