An Unlikely Lunch Date - Hedgehog and Snail Enjoy a Summertime Feast in Suffolk, England!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this charming snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Paul Sawer, we witness an unexpected encounter between two very different creatures. On a sunny August day in the picturesque county of Suffolk, England, an adult European Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) takes a leisurely stroll across a lush green lawn. But what catches our attention is the tiny Garden Snail (Helix aspersa) hitching a ride on its spiky companion's back! It seems like these two have formed an unlikely friendship or perhaps struck up an agreement for mutual benefit. The hedgehog enjoys the occasional snack of insects found in gardens while the snail finds comfort and protection atop its prickly pal. As they traverse through East Anglia's beautiful landscape, it's hard not to smile at this adorable duo. The hedgehog with its quills standing tall and proud, seemingly unfazed by its delicate passenger clinging onto it. This heartwarming image reminds us that even in nature's realm, friendships can bloom where we least expect them. So next time you're out enjoying your garden or exploring the British countryside during summer months, keep your eyes peeled for extraordinary encounters like this one – who knows what delightful surprises await!
