Abstract: Due to the urbanization and human invasion of the natural environments, great changes have been occurred on the food composition and feeding ecology of several animals especially those are sharing human his habitat in fields, wadis and gardens. The desert hedgehogs Paraechinus aethiopicus populations inhabiting different localities in Saudi Arabia were studied by using stomach contents analysis between February 2015 and October 2019. Precise analysis of stomach contents of 55 hedgehogs showed that the food of … Show more

“…Several investigations have discussed the lingual morphoanatomy and feeding habits in small mammals, including hedgehogs (Akbari et al, 2018; Cizek et al, 2020). For instance, The Ethiopian hedgehog has an insectivorous feeding lifestyle and mainly consumes insects and small invertebrates (Mohamed, 2021). The tongue topography and microanatomy of P. aethiopicus have not been examined yet and there is no information discussing the lingual adaptation to feeding habits in thit species.…”
