Cute little buggers but they'd roll up in balls with the spines out if you tried to touch them. I guess it takes them a while to get used to their people.

Here, have a baby otter being shown off by Mum:

If you find one in England hurt you can mail it in a box to the hedgehog hospital there. I think its called Mrs. Tiddleywinks or something or other. Another one of the Eight trillion reasons I love England. That and their hedgehogs.
