The Eastern European HedgehogErinaceus concolor (sometimes referred to as white-bellied hedgehog or white-chested hedgehog) is very similar to lifestyle and appearance to the European Hedgehog, only it has a white spot on its chest. For a long time these two species were considered to be one. Eastern European hedgehog and Western European hedgehog can hybridize. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ...

Unlike its Western European counterpart, Eastern European hedgehog never digs dens. They prefer building grass nests in secluded places.
concolor, a temperate Eurasian species, is the hedgehog of the well-watered forest, shrub-land, and agricultural areas of northwestern and northern Iran through to the Alborz region.
Study of the distribution and ratio between Erinaceus europaeus and Erinaceusconcolor in Latvia is described.
concolor dominate; E. europaeus is rare in Latvia.
At a local scale the spatial distribution and foraging behaviour of hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) were analyzed to investigate the influence of food availability and social organisation on the pattern of distribution and abundance.
