Hedgehog defense

Okay kiddo, do you know what a hedgehog is? It's a cute little animal with spiky quills all over its body. Hedgehogs use their quills to protect themselves from danger.

Now, imagine a group of people or an army trying to protect themselves from something. They can use a strategy called hedgehog defense. This means they make themselves into a tight group and huddle together, just like a hedgehog rolls into a ball. When they do this, it's harder for the enemy to attack them because they are all close together and it's harder for the enemy to get through.

So, hedgehog defense is all about staying closely together to protect yourself from danger. Just like a hedgehog and its spiky quills. Pretty cool, right?
