The 11 mammals on the list include the wildcat, red squirrel, water vole, hazel dormouse and hedgehog. Fiona Mathews, chair of the Mammal Society and professor at the University of Sussex, led the report. “I’m not saying they [the hedgehog] are going to go extinct in the next five years and actually it’s quite difficult to put a precise number on it, just as we can’t put a precise number on it for a lion or a tiger,” she told the BBC....
