Forgive me, I couldn’t resist this oddity. From the BBC:
A man in New Zealand has been charged with using a hedgehog as a weapon, the New Zealand Herald has reported.Police said William Singalargh, 27, had hurled the hedgehog about 5m (16ft) at a 15-year-old boy.
“It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks,” said Senior Sgt Bruce Jenkins, in the North Island town of Whakatane.
It was unclear whether the hedgehog was still alive when it was thrown, though it was dead when collected as evidence.
The police spokesman said the suspect was arrested “for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog.”Mr Singalargh is due to appear in court on 17 April. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.

I’m a city boy. What the hell is a hedgehog. Is it like a ground hog?
