Summer in Japan is still in its early days, but the Japanese are already thinking of ways to keep themselves and their pets cool.
One considerate hedgehog owner, wanting their prickly buddy to be comfortable at all times, bought a piece of aluminium sheeting to cover the floor of the hedgehog's playpen.
According to the owner's Twitter account, @bls____, 10 seconds was all it took for Daifuku the hedgehog to flatten itself down and lie spread-eagle to cool its body temperature down.
