Why do Hedgehogs cover their bodies with p**p?
Hedgehogs cover their bodies with p**p (and other strong-smelling substances) through a behavior known as "self-anointing" or "anting." While this seems disgusting to humans, it is a normal, instinctual, and natural behavior where the hedgehog chews a substance, mixes it with their saliva to create a frothy, pungent lather, and then spreads it over their spines with their tongue. - Google
