Hedgehogs occur area-wide in NRW. Only inner-city areas without "green" and cleared agricultural landscapes are not habitats for the species. Although the hedgehog population can suffer under strong winters, the species pays a large, bloody tribute on the state′s roads, and meanwhile, the more commonly occurring Eurasian Eagle Owl takes many hedgehogs, yet the hedgehog population in NRW apparently remains stable.
