        Isadore of Seville Etymologies XII.iii.7 on the hedgehog: 'This animal has a certain cleverness, for when it has plucked a bunch of grapes from the vine, it rolls itself backwards over it and in this way takes it (i.e. stuck to the quills) to its offspring.'

        Maybe they will shake their spikes so the grapes will fall 😄

        Ah yes, this is typical hedgehog behaviour, grape rolling. Perceptive as ever, our medieval ancestors.
