Scientists at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History have discovered five new soft-furred hedgehogs in Southeast Asia. This comes after a "golden year" of discovery for hedgehog species, which researchers hope will encourage more robust protection for these animals and the delicate environments that support them.

Soft-furred hedgehogs, or gymnures, are the tropical, furry relatives of the spiny porcupine-like creatures we know and love.
