Hedgehogs have spines, or quills, as a defense mechanism against predators. These spines are modified hairs made of keratin, which help protect them by making them difficult and unpleasant to eat. When threatened, hedgehogs can curl into a tight ball, presenting their spiky exterior to potential threats. This adaptation has helped them survive in the wild by deterring many would-be predators.
