<human>:  Would a hedgehog avoid animals without a spinal cord?
<bot>: No, hedgehogs would not avoid animals without a spinal cord. Hedgehogs have a spinal cord, but they are not mammals. A hedgehog has a wide ranging diet including birds, toads, slugs, and snails. Slugs are animals known as invertebrates because they have no backbones. So hedgehogs would not avoid animals without spinal cord.
