Long-eared Hedgehog
The ears of the long-eared hedgehog — longer than half the length of its head — are much larger than those of other hedgehogs. It lives in deserts and steps, using its astute hearing (and smell) to track down food, and its ample ears to radiate heat, staying cool in its sweltering home.
