The document discusses several nocturnal animals, including owls, hedgehogs, bats, badgers, and foxes. Owls have disc-shaped faces that collect sound waves like satellite dishes and male owls hoot loudly to defend their territories. Hedgehogs have poor eyesight, adults have 5,000 spines, and baby hedgehogs are called hoglets or piglets. Bats live under bridges near Spar and there are 18 species in Britain that all eat insects. Badgers live in tunnel networks called sets and are 700mm long, shy mammals. Foxes can be easily trained, hunt alone eating small mammals and birds, and enjoy chickens as a meal.
