Abstract. Heterotopic gastric mucosa of peculiar shape and located in the duodenum bore a close resemblance to superficial ulcerating cancer.

The smaller species of hedgehog usually live for 2 to 4 years, and the larger species can live for up to 7 years in the wild. In captivity, hedgehogs tend to live for longer. This is due to the fact that they donât have any predators and always have access to food. Some captive hedgehogs have reached the age of ten.
Hedgehogs can have as many as 8,000 spines on their bodies. When threatened, they curl into a ball making it painful for predators to try to eat them. A prickly hedgehog ball is not an inviting morsel of food!
