What family do hedgehogs belong to?

Hedgehogs are characterized by their prickly spines. Because they’re called “hedgehogs,” many people might think they’re related to mice, but they’re actually relatives of moles. It’s said they were named “hedgehogs” because their appearance resembles mice, but if you look closely at their faces, they actually resemble moles!

cat
The lion, known as the king of beasts, actually belongs to the cat family—it’s a member of the felines. The cat family also includes many other large predators like leopards, tigers, and jaguars.

See the answer
Raise it in the belly pocket
Kangaroos are very large animals, aren’t they? However, newborn joeys are only about 2 centimeters long, and living outside is full of dangers. So they stay in their mother’s pouch, drinking milk and growing there for about 8 to 10 months. It varies by individual, and some joeys stay for over a year.
What kind of voice is good when talking to a cat?
- high-pitched voice
- low voice
- funny voice

high-pitched voice
When you see a cat and want to call out to it, try speaking in a high-pitched voice. Speaking in a low voice can sound like an angry tone or a growl. Even a high pitch can be scary if it’s too loud, so try talking to the cat gently in a soft, high voice.
What do you call it when a gorilla beats its chest?
- Juggling
- Drumming
- Swimming
See the answer
Drumming
The gesture of beating the chest with both hands while going “uho uho” often appears in hand games and songs. This is called drumming. You might imagine gorillas doing this when they’re angry, but in fact they do it to announce their presence or to calm themselves. Incidentally, young gorillas imitate adults and drum playfully.
Turtles are said to live long lives. How many years did the longest-lived turtle live?
- about 20 years
- about 200 years
- about 10,000 years

about 200 years
Because there’s a saying that “cranes live a thousand years and turtles live ten thousand,” you might wonder, “Do turtles really live ten thousand years?” In fact, the longest-lived turtle recorded by Guinness is said to have lived about 200 years. It varies by species and environment, but they certainly live a very long time.

Sloths like to move slowly and take it easy. In fact, they spend most of their lives in trees. They eat and sleep up in the branches, but it’s said that they come down to the ground when they need to relieve themselves. Because they are nocturnal, they spend most of the daytime sleeping in the trees!
