On Wednesday, May 10, a resident of Rua Felipe dos Santos, in the Cristo Rei neighborhood, found a hedgehog and captured it with a bucket. He triggered the Command and Monitoring Center (Cecom), which sent the Environmental Defense Group (GDA) of the Municipal Civil Guard (GCM) to rescue the animal. Agent Ipson Pavani was responsible for saving the hedgehog.
After capture, the hedgehog was examined by agents and showed no signs of injury or illness. He was in good health and able to return to the wild. Therefore, he was taken to Imperatriz Park, where he was released in a safe and suitable environment for his species.
Hedgehog (Coendou spinosus)
The hedgehog is an arboreal animal that lives in the heights of trees. It uses its flexible and strong tail to hang and move between branches. Its coat has two colors: the back is a light gray tone and the belly varies from yellow to dark brown. It also has hard spines and soft fur that can cover the spines. Their diet is based on plants, such as leaves, flowers, fruits and even the bark of trees. During the day, he usually stays at the top of trees.
