thus the name (morski prašiček - sea piglet in slovene)

A hedgehog is a "Spike Pig" in German, a boar a "Wild Pig", and a piggy bank a "Savings Pig".
3 1 ReplyA porcupine is a "Spike Pig". The hedgehog has a name on its own called "Igel".
Funny though if you look at the name hedgehog. Basically a wild pig in a bush.
