Japan must also be the land of the hedgehog. Not only has it got the bouncing blue speedster named Sonic, it can add Murataro. Murataro is a pygmy hedgehog and Internet celebrity. He enjoys getting his pictures taken, even with illustrated masks that his owners make for him. He’s also featured in calendars and Vine videos that showcase his antics. With over 47,000 Twitter followers, there are a lot of people interested in what cuteness he’ll do next.
