- Description:On July 9, 2025, in Dagestan, Russia, a video captured an unusual encounter between a man and a hedgehog. In the video, filmed in a parking lot, the hedgehog approaches the man and appears to seek help. Upon closer look, the man notices sticky tape on the hedgehog’s paw and gently removes it, after which the hedgehog scurries away. Note that hedgehogs typically curl up into a ball when encountering people or animals as a defensive reaction. However, a hedgehog infected with rabies may act unusually friendly or fearless, as experts caution. Authorities later reminded the public not to handle wild animals directly due to potential health risks.
