WHERE DID YOU come from?

That’s the question many Londoners found themselves asking a giant wooden hedgehog, which appeared on the city’s famous Clapham Common in the early hours.

The creature caused quite a stir among early morning joggers when it mysteriously emerged from hibernation, terrifying a few dogs while it was at it.

Of course it isn’t a real headgehog, sadly.

London24.com says the sculpture – which has 2,000 soft spikes and measures 12ft long by 8ft wide – took sculptor Andy Billet two months to create.

The hedgehog has been specially crafted to celebrate the launch of Sir David Attenborough’s latest nature series, which just so happens to be all about the prickly creatures.
