Hedgehog - New Zealand
A hedgehog curls up in a garden in Rolleston on the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand, on October 27, 2024. As hedgehogs have no natural predators in New Zealand, they are considered a pest because they kill a variety of insects, lizards, and ground-nesting chicks and damage the biodiversity. Therefore, the Department of Conservation lists hedgehogs as the ''most underrated predator.'' (Photo by Sanka Vidanagama/NurPhoto)
