EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo, we see a tender moment between man and nature as a two-month-old hedgehog is gently cradled in the hands of its rescuer. The setting is a beautiful garden in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, where the tiny creature was discovered just last week. The image captures the innocence and vulnerability of this young hedgehog as it embarks on its journey through life. Its spiky quills are still soft and delicate, reminding us of the fragility of wildlife in our ever-changing environment. As autumn sets in, we learn that wild hedgehogs like this one will soon enter their hibernation period from November to March. This fact adds an extra layer of significance to the photograph – a reminder that even amidst bustling human activity, there exists a natural rhythm that governs all living beings. Photographed by Ina Fassbender for Reuters Images, this snapshot not only showcases the beauty of animals but also serves as a gentle call to action for society at large. It prompts us to reflect upon our role in preserving these precious creatures' habitats and ensuring their survival for generations to come. Let this image serve as inspiration for us all to embrace compassion towards animals and take steps towards creating an environment where they can thrive alongside humanity harmoniously.
