Medieval hedgehogs were said to harvest fruit (specifically grapes) by spearing fruit shaken off the tree/vine on their spines. This c1300 image shows one hedgehog in a tree doing the shaking and another hedgehog spearing the fruit. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #hedgehog #hedgehogs

In the foreground, a spiky brown hedgehog in a tight ball is spearing red fruit on its spine tips on the ground. Behind it, another brown hedgehog is stretched at length in a green tree shaking the red fruit down. Its notable that the hedgehog in the tree has a pointed snout while the hedgehog on the ground has a much more pig-like head. Image from Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, MS 404 (Rothschild Canticles), folio 176r.
