Canines

Foxes, wolves, jackals, and other canids, commonly known as canines, are part of the dog family (Canidae). They are typically long-legged, skinny animals with long muzzles, bushy tails, and upright pointed ears that can be found all across the world.

The canine tooth evolved and is largely used for holding food firmly in order to pull it apart, though it may also be used as a weapon on occasion. Humans and dogs are two examples of creatures that generally have four, two in the upper jaw and two in the lower, divided by incisors in each jaw. The canines are the teeth in the maxillary bone that are most anterior in most species.

It's possible for a hedgehog to be attacked and eaten by several Canidae species. In order to force the hedgehog back open if it has coiled up into a spiny ball, a dog may insert his nose between the hedgehog's curled coat's edges. A hedgehog's dog bite may be difficult to detect. Long canines have the potential to pierce the tissue just below the spines. Even while the wound may recover fast, if it becomes infected, the hedgehog will continue to experience troubles for weeks after the incident.
