Giant hedgehog on Clapham Common

A huge hedgehog has been installed in south London to promote David Attenborough's latest TV series.

The structure on Clapham Common took over two months to create, and with 2,000 soft wood spikes is 12ft long and 8ft wide, making it larger than a rhinoceros.

The animal will feature in the Attenborough's new show Natural Curiosities, which starts on February 18 on Watch.

According to research by UKTV, a quarter of British adults have never seen a hedgehog in the wild, while a further 74 per cent are worried about the species' declining numbers.
