A puppy may get some attention from the ladies, but imagine how many heads a capybara or wallaroo will turn

CBS







Hedgehog

Lifespan: 3-8 years

Origin: Europe, Asia and Africa

Fun fact: Hedgehogs exhibit an "annointing" behavior when they encounter a new smell, in which they will lick or bite the source of the smell, form a froth with their mouth and distribute the froth on their quills. According to CBS affiliate WDBJ, it's believed by researchers that this is for scent camouflage purposes.
