Ёж — самый недооценённый хищник нашего континента

💰 Support the channel: YuMoney: 4100118215527015 A viper kills a dog in an hour. A hedgehog eats it for lunch—and survives a dose of venom forty times greater than the lethal dose. Everything you've been told about the cute, prickly animal from cartoons is just a pretty veneer. Beneath it lies one of the most ancient and underestimated predators on our continent: a snake killer with a built-in antidote in its blood, an animal older than mammoths, a living paradox that is quietly disappearing right under our feet. This video tells everything about the hedgehog: how it defeats a viper, why poisons don't work on it, why it coats itself in poisonous foam, how it survives the winter almost without breathing, and why it is saved in one part of the world and exterminated in another.
