Researchers played a sountrack to hedgehogs to identify the frequency of sounds they can hear ...

Researchers have discovered that hedgehogs can hear ultrasound, a surprising ability that could help protect them from cars. Since road traffic kills large numbers of hedgehogs, scientists believe ...

Meet the European hedgehog ( Erinaceus europaeus ), small nocturnal insectivores that turn into a spiny ball of death when they feel threatened. Unfortunately, the mammals are rapidly declining.

But a new study by the University of Oxford has discovered that the much-loved mammal can hear high-frequency ultrasounds, ...

Scientists have found hedgehogs can hear higher pitched sounds than humans, cats and dogs, and hope the discovery could help protect them ...

Millions of hedgehogs die as they cross the roads, but a discovery is paving the way for a warning that might stop them crossing at dangerous times.

Study shows animals hear very high frequencies, making it possible to design a deterrent to cut deaths ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have suggested that ultrasound-repellers could help reduce hedgehog deaths caused by cars. The proposal is based on new findings, published in Biology Letters, ...

New research suggests that ultrasound devices may help reduce the incidents of hedgehog deaths by cars and robot lawnmowers – and might even help us learn more about how they communicate with each ...

An Oxford University has revealed that hedgehogs can hear at frequencies way beyond the range of people - and it might just ...

The proposal is based on their findings which show for the first time that hedgehogs can hear high-frequency ultrasound.
