Italy s hedgehog clinic

25-06-2025 07:00

A man in Italy helps small animals. His name is Dr. Massimo Vacchetta. He has a clinic for sick hedgehogs. Some are hurt. Some are sick. He gives them food and helps them get strong.

Hedgehogs live in nature. They eat bugs. They help the Earth. But many hedgehogs die. Cars, fires, and garden tools hurt them. They also get sick from bugs or bad food.

The doctor works every day. He gives water and care. Some hedgehogs get better. Some do not. People send money to help. These little animals are important.

Difficult words: clinic (a place where sick people or animals get help), hedgehog (a small animal with sharp spikes), bug (a small insect).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
