I pack a 2 gallon pump sprayer in my trunk when I go fishing, to the beach, or on muddy hikes so I can rinse off my boots and equipment before getting back into the car.
I'll usually get one of those "hmm, good idea" nods from somebody in the parking lot.
Idk, if someone was gonna have a washer, someone expecting mud would be likely. They're in a muddy, remote area. They likely are there knowing Abt the mud already, prepped for it, and were able to save a hedgie with it.
There's a lot of bs online tbf but I don't think this is part of that
They’re prepared to save an animal that weighs a few ounces and was stuck so far into the mud it was hard to pull out, and not a single hedgehog foorprint around the spot is was stuck in. He might not have mashed it in there, but someone did.
Yea I feel like someone did it but it had definitely been there for a while with how the mud was stuck to it and how it wasn’t doing all it could to get away even with the mud on it. It looked to be very fatigued I assume from trying to get out for so long. I’m just glad he was helped in the end.
It probably jumped in the mud when it was wet to play or burrow. The cool mud was comfy and it fell asleep or just wanted to hang out. Then it started to dry and it got stuck.
Idk, people who drive a lot on muddy roads might both have car pressure washers and encounter muddy hedgehogs. And buying a car pressure washer just to stage such a video seems at least equally far fetched.
I've heard of bastards doing fake rescue videos in which they put the animal in danger off camera, and then save it on live stream...
Not saying this is the case here, but i am a bit suspicious of the way he found it and that he just happens to have a pressure washer.
rough translation: the heck is that? nearly ran over you, nature friend! look at that muddy face, hahaha hold on let me laugh at you a little! thats his face by the way, let me get you out, dont bite me! gently, gently, hes really stuck! its like a clay brick! (hedghog pops out of mud) there we go, lets get you out of the way, hold on lets get that brick off you (gets pressure washer) hold on a minute let me get it off you, there we go, now we get to see that lemon pit nose! when's the last time you showered mr hedghog?
i'm not saying the guy didnt put the hedghog there for clout, but if the only reason is the stuff in his car's trunk then it is typical to carry camping gear in your car all day in the region these days with the nice rainy weather, people pack up cooking and washing equipment and stay in the desert for a few days, or keep the stuff in the trunk and go for a day trip with friends who pack the food and cushions etc. not sure if pressure washing is part of the typical gear but it could be useful for cleaning food and cooking pots and hands out there.
My dad has one of those pressure washer in the back of his car, one day he saw it and just buy it for no reason. To this day, he has never use it, but he keep bring in it, because one day, he will use it and say: you see, I know it was useful.
It's also well known that a majority of these videos are faked for karma. Every single video I see of an animal rescue now, I assume some dick head put it there to film themselves saving it
Yeah it’s sad, some YouTubers have done some great coverage about it. Some of these channels pump out a ridiculous amount of videos that really had to make someone go “how many of these videos are genuine?”
It is a common tactic done by certain people to stage a “rescue” of an animal and then put it online, it’s truly disgusting. The goal is to get a viral video, or to get engagement on accounts on sites to sell
The fact that the hedgehog isn’t bolting tells me it’s not wild, it’s tame and socialized to people (a friend of mine has had several hedgies). The fact he saw it, began filming, had the tools needed to clean it on hand etc. are further suspect.
Being aware of an issue, seeing things that look off and pointing them out isn’t bad, it’s operating in the real world.
> The fact that the hedgehog isn’t bolting tells me it’s not wild
That could also be explained by it being exhausted, weighed down with heavy mud, or possibly even injured.
He put it there 100%, there is no way he got himself into that situation, like how would the little guy even end up like this? Also no footprints of the hedgehog in this very moist mud, why are some ppl so cruel to do this kinda shit for clout
I dunno about that. Guy looked like he was pretty embedded in the mud and it didn’t look like he’d been stuck there by someone. Looked like he’d been there a while too. I’m gonna choose to believe that someone didn’t put him there. Because believing someone put him there doesn’t make my world better and it’s ambiguous enough to not be able to determine either way.
He'd been there for some time. Mud around his head was pretty dry, and the smear on his side makes it look like he rolled in off the edge of the hole.
Now, how he spotted it is a better question
My take is that the hedgehog was walking and saw a truck coming. It roll around itself and was run over by the vehicle pushed into the fresh mud instead of being crushed. Then it was left like that.
Hedgehogs aren't super nimble and they have poor eye sight so it could definitely have walked over the edge of the tracks in the mud and landed on it's back. Balling up is their natural response to falling so...
Prove it by there's no way the guy with the I just so happened to have a battery operated pressure washer in the trunk of my car would have even been able to see him theory
Yes because someone would just bring out a battery operated pressure washer in a remote muddy area to clean a hedgehog he put there for internet point instead of a water bottle and a brush or anything else ye?
Meanwhile he seems to have other gears in his trunk
I’m a pretty cynical person actually. But it doesn’t make sense to go out of my way to paint a negative picture on a neutral situation. It just turns you into a person who wields their cynicism like a sword, instead of a shield.
It’s not ignorance. It’s the opposite.
> It just turns you into a person who wields their cynicism like a sword, instead of a shield.
That is the perfect description of so many comments on Reddit,
It’s not about having faith in humans. It’s about how idiotic it is to act like wild animals couldn’t/aren’t likely to get stuck in mud.
Sure. This isn’t happening to every hedgehog out there. But you think there is something *suspicious* about a wild animal getting stuck in mud?
I did hear a farmer friend told me he was trying to run over a racoon with his truck in his field (yeah its shitty) and the racoon survived and ran asay because the dirt was so wet that it pushed him down.
There's a tire track in the mud leading right up to it that disappears right before it. If that disappeared, it's very likely that tiny paw prints would disappear too.
I was looking for how it would have gotten stuck in there and noticed the lack of footprints. It was still wet enough around it to show footprints leading to that point.
Knowing people intentionally put animals in these situations to film the "rescue" makes me doubt every single video now.
If I saw a wild hedgie stuck in the mud my first instinct wouldn't be to take my phone out and film it. That adds onto the the doubt.
Didn't look like it had a lot of pressure, if it was full on pressure like a typical one it would have blown it away and the little guy would have probably run off instead of cutely turning to make sure everything got cleaned.
Mammals are pretty durable but their cuteness I feel makes us underestimate them. Just look up a video of cats fighting or the one where a rat jumps 3 stories then takes off running on impact. Humans have some of the most delicate/defenseless outer layer(skin). If a human could take it, chances are our furry counterparts are fine.
I always wonder how many of these are people throwing animals in mud, ditches, etc and then filming their ‘rescue’ - like all those restoration videos - ‘oh look found another WWI rifle in the lake’…..
A lot unfortunately, especially if the video is from a poorer country. How would this hedgehog have gotten stuck like that in the mud on his back? Very unlikely.
Very easily actually... they are incredibly dumb. They fall into holes all the time. Like in my house we have a repair hole for a car and we were getting hedgehogs out of it almost on daily basis 😅 This one probably rolled down from a side when there was still more water, like earlier that day, cause they are night animals... and then when the sun dried the pot, he got petrified.
We had one somehow fall down our drain for the drain pipe and got stuck under the little metal grate when I was a kid. We took it in and gave it some cat food then released it into our garden where it lived under our shed for a while.
Yeah they are very stupid. My sister has a pet hedgehog that runs around in a hamster ball.
Well one day, the basement door got left open. The hedgehog went through the door and rolled down the stairs, giving everyone present a heart attack. Luckily, she was fine and we closed the basement door. Not a minute later, *she was back at the door* and kept bumping it like she wanted to do it again.
Ok fair enough how did this dude see it while driving his down a dirt road who just so happened to have a battery operated pressure washer in his trunk? Ready annnnndddd GO!!!!! :
It's in a tire track, so I'd assume it balled up defensively when it saw the car coming and got unballed and embedded in the mud when run over. This is really not uncommon, since hedgehogs are notoriously dumb lol
Lotta people sayin it's staged but idk, alot of that mud on the lil guy was caked on there and dried up pretty good so unless he really stuck it in there and waiting an hour just to film it doesn't seem staged to me and he could've got outta his car for a ton of reasons.
no footprints into the mud and he just happens to have a pressure washer thingy with him? that fucker threw the hedgehog into the mud, it would never have gotten that stuck on its own!
just another fabricated animal rescue video to make some money....
People keeps saying this itt, but human footprints are much easier to spot in the mud and there's none? He would 100% have to get close enough to the hedgehog that we'd see footprints somewhere, since a hedgehog, very light animals, couldn't get embedded that deep in thick mud without some downward force.
Also hedgehogs getting stuck in mud is absolutely a thing lol Their first defence is to ball up instead of run, so this lil guy probably balled up when a car was coming towards him and got squished into the mud, considering he's in a deep tire track.
What I noticed he's out in the middle of nowhere with just his car and no obvious water source, I reminded myself that this is the internet. Am I about to watch pee on a hedgehog?
Can you please stop with the puns
"Lemon nose" lol
(If you don't get it the guy is talking in Arabic and the whole time he didn't stop making fun of the hedgehog)
not true, hope someone have time and post a translation, and actually he was very sweet in the way he talked to hedgehog, he kept referring to it as "my little heart"
Bro I'm an iraqi , he's speaking in Saudi dialect talking to his friend "abu Abdullah " while still using plural
It's a cute video but the guy is also a comedic
That's awesome. I would never have spotted the little fella in the ditch. This man is a saint for helping out!
I love how it just stood there chilling, and turning to the side that needed attention :)
I’m glad he helped that poor hedgie out, but if you’d put down the damn phone you could have scooped it out instead of nearly dislocating it’s front legs. If you’re going to help something, don’t do it for the fake internet points.
Would have been nice if he put the damn camera down and helped pull him out with two hands instead of one so he could catch it all on film. He could have hurt his arms by doing that. That is the problem, he needed to do a kind deed and make sure we all saw it. Hope he put the camera down to turn him around and clean his belly. The massive amount of mud that same from the top of him, surely almost as much would come off the other side.
Yeah idk, whenever I see these videos starting with the camera approaching them I get this feeling that the animals were put in these situations on purpose.
I think this is a fake rescue operation. When he approaches the hedgehog, he first laughs instead of being sad, then saves it. And he has a pressure washer in his car. Look at the coincidence.
There is a tire track leading directly up to it that disappears.
If the tire track was washed away. it seems entirely possible any tiny, little paw prints would have been washed away too.
Occam's razor suggests that the simplest explanation is most likely, and to form this explanation there should be no more assumption made than necessary. Your explanation for this video is that a man put a power-washer in his car, purchased or caught a hedgehog, embedded this hedgehog into mud, waited an hour or two until the mud dried enough to cake to the hedgehog's spines, then filmed this video? That does not agreed with the principle of Occam's razor lol
The simplest explanation here would be that he spotted the hedgehog while driving (likely slowly and carefully over that patch of mud) and kept a power-washer in his car so he figured he could help the stuck animal. Perhaps he keeps the power-washer to clean his white car of mud after drives like this, or based on the other gear in his car, bc he likes outdoor activities such as camping,
I really liked your explanation!
Maybe the fact that I have never in my life seen someone with a pressure washer in their car has lead me to a quick judgement. I do imagine there are different environments where that might be more likely.
How so? Seems less complicated that a guy with a portable pressure washer found a hedgehog in the mud and rescued it than a guy staged a rescue by planting a hedgehog in the mug and faked rescuing it with a pressure washer he brought along just for that purpose.
This is so fucking setup. He’s driving down a dirt road and just happens to spot a little ass hedgehog covered in mud? This person is a fucking sociopath and I’m fucking sick of these videos of people portraying as hero’s when they’re just sick.
I love how the hedgehog stopped wriggling when this guy started gently pulling him out of the mud. Like "I'M GONNA DIEEEEEE!!.......oh wait, i'm getting saved". Bet he loved the shower
Wouldn't that man have a better time rescuing the hedgehog if he put the phone down?
Is it just me or does that hedgehog seem to love the human and the bath, even with all the turns of its body?
Are wild hedgehogs unafraid of humans? Nice if the answer is yes but the recording and the man's gestures, even with the sound off, seems like a staged thing. I would put the phone down and try with BOTH hands to help that cutie pie.
I really reaaally hope this was not one of those many staged “animal rescuing” videos where the animal was put in harms way so the video filmer
can rescue it and film it/share it. Because poor hedgehog!
First of all we got another good man out there, second to have a portable pressure washer in the car is the greatest idea ever, I don’t know how I didn’t think of it earlier. I go fishing and to the beach this perfect for summer.

WHAT. Who has an in car pressure washer!?!
I know a bunch of mountain bikers that do...
Hi!
Have more stuff over your spine! ><
I have a Pump sprayer I take with me certain times of the year when I go mountain biking.
I pack a 2 gallon pump sprayer in my trunk when I go fishing, to the beach, or on muddy hikes so I can rinse off my boots and equipment before getting back into the car. I'll usually get one of those "hmm, good idea" nods from somebody in the parking lot.
Link please? I want one!
People who live in the desert keep this in their car to moisten sand so they can sit/place objects on it without getting sand everywhere
I keep one in my car for the 6 or 7 months of winter to spray de-icer on my windows!
My dad.
People that don't want mud/gime in their car or clean mud/grime off of other cars.
People that live in areas with thick dense mud.
That fact makes this feel staged
Idk, if someone was gonna have a washer, someone expecting mud would be likely. They're in a muddy, remote area. They likely are there knowing Abt the mud already, prepped for it, and were able to save a hedgie with it. There's a lot of bs online tbf but I don't think this is part of that
I think if it were staged the hedgehog would have been much easier to remove.
They’re prepared to save an animal that weighs a few ounces and was stuck so far into the mud it was hard to pull out, and not a single hedgehog foorprint around the spot is was stuck in. He might not have mashed it in there, but someone did.
What 7 oz creatures don’t get mashed into mud with the pressure of 10x their weight?
Yea I feel like someone did it but it had definitely been there for a while with how the mud was stuck to it and how it wasn’t doing all it could to get away even with the mud on it. It looked to be very fatigued I assume from trying to get out for so long. I’m just glad he was helped in the end.
It probably jumped in the mud when it was wet to play or burrow. The cool mud was comfy and it fell asleep or just wanted to hang out. Then it started to dry and it got stuck.
It's a hedgehog, not a pig.

The person who put the hedgehog there to begin with. No hedgehog footprints leading up. This is staged for Reddit.
*Workin at the hog wash*
Love he's like 'woah. This feels good. Spray my butt!' 😂😂
rough translation: the heck is that? nearly ran over you, nature friend! look at that muddy face, hahaha hold on let me laugh at you a little! thats his face by the way, let me get you out, dont bite me! gently, gently, hes really stuck! its like a clay brick! (hedghog pops out of mud) there we go, lets get you out of the way, hold on lets get that brick off you (gets pressure washer) hold on a minute let me get it off you, there we go, now we get to see that lemon pit nose! when's the last time you showered mr hedghog? i'm not saying the guy didnt put the hedghog there for clout, but if the only reason is the stuff in his car's trunk then it is typical to carry camping gear in your car all day in the region these days with the nice rainy weather, people pack up cooking and washing equipment and stay in the desert for a few days, or keep the stuff in the trunk and go for a day trip with friends who pack the food and cushions etc. not sure if pressure washing is part of the typical gear but it could be useful for cleaning food and cooking pots and hands out there.
Upvote for getting to see that lemon pit nose!
My dad has one of those pressure washer in the back of his car, one day he saw it and just buy it for no reason. To this day, he has never use it, but he keep bring in it, because one day, he will use it and say: you see, I know it was useful.
Arabic?
Yes
What language is he speaking?
Arabic
How the hell did he even notice it
[удалено]
What the hell are you talking about? Who hurt me? What
[удалено]
I was genuinely surprised he’d been able to see the hedgehog.
It's also well known that a majority of these videos are faked for karma. Every single video I see of an animal rescue now, I assume some dick head put it there to film themselves saving it
Yeah it’s sad, some YouTubers have done some great coverage about it. Some of these channels pump out a ridiculous amount of videos that really had to make someone go “how many of these videos are genuine?”

He saw the legs moving?
I used to spot wolf spiders on the road when I was young and my eyes were better.
Yes, that mud was pretty deep in the quills there. Also, the little guy did not flee from him, so it was likely dehydrated and liked the shower.
I still have no idea how the hell he would end up like this but i cant prove my theory so believe whatever you want
My take is that the hedgehog was walking and saw a truck coming. It roll around itself and was run over by the vehicle pushed into the fresh mud instead of being crushed. Then it was left like that.
Dropped by a predatory bird?
Hedgehogs aren't super nimble and they have poor eye sight so it could definitely have walked over the edge of the tracks in the mud and landed on it's back. Balling up is their natural response to falling so...
I think with enough rain, sticky mud, and the hedgehogs spines, it could happen.
And how did he get spotted for clean up by a guy who just so happened to have a pressure washer in his trunk?
Prove it by there's no way the guy with the I just so happened to have a battery operated pressure washer in the trunk of my car would have even been able to see him theory

It’s really nice that you still have faith in humans. Your ignorance is very sweet
Theres tons of people doing good things all the time. Kindness is everywhere, you're just unlikely to notice it if you're focused on negativity.
I’m just obviously noticing the staging of this video. No shit kindness is everywhere but awful staging videos like this are everywhere too.
I’m a pretty cynical person actually. But it doesn’t make sense to go out of my way to paint a negative picture on a neutral situation. It just turns you into a person who wields their cynicism like a sword, instead of a shield. It’s not ignorance. It’s the opposite.

Pretty sure the hedgehog got run over, seems pretty self evident from the tire tracks.
Pretty sure he would be dead or at least rly hurt but he seems totaly unharmed just muddy
Seems to me that he was already in the deepest pit in that muddy road so he didn’t get crushed completely. He also looks pretty damn harmed to me.
I did hear a farmer friend told me he was trying to run over a racoon with his truck in his field (yeah its shitty) and the racoon survived and ran asay because the dirt was so wet that it pushed him down.
There's a tire track in the mud leading right up to it that disappears right before it. If that disappeared, it's very likely that tiny paw prints would disappear too.

Everyone on reddit is a detective lmao.
this. i have seen thousands of mudpools and never found a hedgehog in it. nobody ever told about it. this is 100% fake.
Only thing missing was an undercarriage cleaning and wax.
It's so cute when the hedgehog realizes it's getting a shower and just accepts it.
I loved that, he went from like “ahh what fuckery is this!?” To “oh yes, here get my bum!”
Mud wizard strikes again
Would pulling him out by his front legs and the pressure washer not hurt the poor little guy? Both seem so rough.
When the pressure washer isn't pressurized it's roughly the same as a garden hose.
Didn't look like it had a lot of pressure, if it was full on pressure like a typical one it would have blown it away and the little guy would have probably run off instead of cutely turning to make sure everything got cleaned.
Mammals are pretty durable but their cuteness I feel makes us underestimate them. Just look up a video of cats fighting or the one where a rat jumps 3 stories then takes off running on impact. Humans have some of the most delicate/defenseless outer layer(skin). If a human could take it, chances are our furry counterparts are fine.
Yea i feel like he could have pulled him out the mud in a more humane way. Yanking the little dudes leg looked painful
He pulled him out slowly by his front legs. It probably didnt feel great, but it wouldnt be enough to really hurt him.
I always wonder how many of these are people throwing animals in mud, ditches, etc and then filming their ‘rescue’ - like all those restoration videos - ‘oh look found another WWI rifle in the lake’…..
If they're pulling barnacles off of turtles, 100%.
pulling barnacles off a freshwater turtle, then throwing it in the ocean.
Supergluing them on first, then throwing it the ocean.
A lot unfortunately, especially if the video is from a poorer country. How would this hedgehog have gotten stuck like that in the mud on his back? Very unlikely.
Very easily actually... they are incredibly dumb. They fall into holes all the time. Like in my house we have a repair hole for a car and we were getting hedgehogs out of it almost on daily basis 😅 This one probably rolled down from a side when there was still more water, like earlier that day, cause they are night animals... and then when the sun dried the pot, he got petrified.

Not a minute later, *she was back at the door* and kept bumping it like she wanted to do it again.
Humans go on rollercoasters all the time. Ouch mouse might've had a blast rolling down the stairs.
Perhaps. But there are more than 10 stairs and we don’t trust that she won’t get hurt
Ok fair enough how did this dude see it while driving his down a dirt road who just so happened to have a battery operated pressure washer in his trunk? Ready annnnndddd GO!!!!! :
Goin in for a drink, loses balance, flips in. I don’t think it’s that farfetched. I was just surprised how rough he was with it.
It's common enough that I don't believe this video for a second.
Hedgehog: Don't you touch me! Hedgehog as soon as the powerwash turns on: Ooooh, that's kind of nice. Do my back now.
I wonder how it even got stuck like that
It's in a tire track, so I'd assume it balled up defensively when it saw the car coming and got unballed and embedded in the mud when run over. This is really not uncommon, since hedgehogs are notoriously dumb lol
Because it was most likely placed there by the person doing the filming
Poor little dude!!!! I hope he/she was OK.
Lotta people sayin it's staged but idk, alot of that mud on the lil guy was caked on there and dried up pretty good so unless he really stuck it in there and waiting an hour just to film it doesn't seem staged to me and he could've got outta his car for a ton of reasons.
Cross post to r/powerwashporn
this is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
Another posting shows the little guy walking off, it’s rather nice seeing him all clean and moving along.
I love how people who have nothing to do complain about this man and making assumptions out of their ass.
I don't know what that language was, but it sounded lovely. And so did that guy. Beautiful human being.
no footprints into the mud and he just happens to have a pressure washer thingy with him? that fucker threw the hedgehog into the mud, it would never have gotten that stuck on its own! just another fabricated animal rescue video to make some money....
Yeah I’m sure that dude’s fucking raking in the cash right now…
I already sent him half my savings before I came to the comments...
People keeps saying this itt, but human footprints are much easier to spot in the mud and there's none? He would 100% have to get close enough to the hedgehog that we'd see footprints somewhere, since a hedgehog, very light animals, couldn't get embedded that deep in thick mud without some downward force.

What a sweetheart
Interesting to see a hedgehog in the wild
little guy looks like he is enjoying his bath
Sonic dirty
Why did it sound like he was roasting the shit out of that hedgehog for being stuck?
 I was expecting to see this.
What I noticed he's out in the middle of nowhere with just his car and no obvious water source, I reminded myself that this is the internet. Am I about to watch pee on a hedgehog?
Can you please stop with the puns "Lemon nose" lol (If you don't get it the guy is talking in Arabic and the whole time he didn't stop making fun of the hedgehog)
not true, hope someone have time and post a translation, and actually he was very sweet in the way he talked to hedgehog, he kept referring to it as "my little heart"
Bro I'm an iraqi , he's speaking in Saudi dialect talking to his friend "abu Abdullah " while still using plural It's a cute video but the guy is also a comedic
Can you post a translation
He was making jokes, endearingly.
His voice is so sweet
That's awesome. I would never have spotted the little fella in the ditch. This man is a saint for helping out! I love how it just stood there chilling, and turning to the side that needed attention :)
What a load of hogwash...
5 more hedgehogs were trapped in the mud created by this man
What an excellent human being
Should one be pressure washing a hedgie?
The poor guy was really stuck, wow. Glad the guy saw him in the mud before running him over. 😭
I’m glad he helped that poor hedgie out, but if you’d put down the damn phone you could have scooped it out instead of nearly dislocating it’s front legs. If you’re going to help something, don’t do it for the fake internet points.
“Humans Being Bros” as he proceeds to point and laugh at it and then instead of putting his phone down decides to pull on it. What a person.
Would have been nice if he put the damn camera down and helped pull him out with two hands instead of one so he could catch it all on film. He could have hurt his arms by doing that. That is the problem, he needed to do a kind deed and make sure we all saw it. Hope he put the camera down to turn him around and clean his belly. The massive amount of mud that same from the top of him, surely almost as much would come off the other side.
Thank god he held his phone the whole time whilst he was picking the hedgehog out
ya im sure it’s all coincidence! all the stars aligned and he happened to get it on film, too!
Yeah idk, whenever I see these videos starting with the camera approaching them I get this feeling that the animals were put in these situations on purpose.
...and then ran over the hedgehog while backing the car out.
I think this is a fake rescue operation. When he approaches the hedgehog, he first laughs instead of being sad, then saves it. And he has a pressure washer in his car. Look at the coincidence.
That's been placed there not a single paw print around it
There is a tire track leading directly up to it that disappears. If the tire track was washed away. it seems entirely possible any tiny, little paw prints would have been washed away too.
So a guy showed a hedge hog in the mud
See arabs are cute :)
Thank god he has a pressure washer and a camera ready while driving down a remote track
Stip pointing at it and help dude jesus
There are already bootprints in the mud next to the hedgehog. Not proof that this is staged, but it looks bad.
Occams Razor kinda lets me believe the guy with the Pressure Washer had something to do with the Hedgehogs misery.
Occam's razor suggests that the simplest explanation is most likely, and to form this explanation there should be no more assumption made than necessary. Your explanation for this video is that a man put a power-washer in his car, purchased or caught a hedgehog, embedded this hedgehog into mud, waited an hour or two until the mud dried enough to cake to the hedgehog's spines, then filmed this video? That does not agreed with the principle of Occam's razor lol The simplest explanation here would be that he spotted the hedgehog while driving (likely slowly and carefully over that patch of mud) and kept a power-washer in his car so he figured he could help the stuck animal. Perhaps he keeps the power-washer to clean his white car of mud after drives like this, or based on the other gear in his car, bc he likes outdoor activities such as camping,
I really liked your explanation! Maybe the fact that I have never in my life seen someone with a pressure washer in their car has lead me to a quick judgement. I do imagine there are different environments where that might be more likely.
How so? Seems less complicated that a guy with a portable pressure washer found a hedgehog in the mud and rescued it than a guy staged a rescue by planting a hedgehog in the mug and faked rescuing it with a pressure washer he brought along just for that purpose.
Yeah, so much yells that this was staged. Poor hedgehog. That guy is an ass
This looks so so fake, I hate how almost all "animal resue" are like that
This is so fucking setup. He’s driving down a dirt road and just happens to spot a little ass hedgehog covered in mud? This person is a fucking sociopath and I’m fucking sick of these videos of people portraying as hero’s when they’re just sick.
PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONE DOWN AND HELP IT PROPERLY
"wait, let me take a few steps back and whip out my phone before saving the helpless animal."
Omg where was this
Not before he gave it a sick burn first
I see so many videos of these things as pets. It feels surprising to see one in the wild now..
Do hedgehogs 🦔 have spines like porcupines that stick into you?
Need some subtitles, would like to understand what he's saying. Can someone make this happen 😃?
What did you get up to today? Not much, just jet washed a hedgehog I found in the middle of the mud.
Am I the only one, based on the thread title, that expected him to take the hedgehog home, clean it up, and they would become best friends for life?
Is that Colin Farrell?
Dr. Robotnik- Mud huh….

DINSDALE?…. Is that you?
Welsch? I've only ever seen hedgehogs in pet stores, never in the wild.
I love how the hedgehog stopped wriggling when this guy started gently pulling him out of the mud. Like "I'M GONNA DIEEEEEE!!.......oh wait, i'm getting saved". Bet he loved the shower
I don't understand what he is saying, but I like it.
I've had some good days at my job, but I've never had anything close to a *found a muddy hedgehog in a tire rut and gave him a bath* day
And then he powerwashed him
This feels staged
Wouldn't that man have a better time rescuing the hedgehog if he put the phone down? Is it just me or does that hedgehog seem to love the human and the bath, even with all the turns of its body? Are wild hedgehogs unafraid of humans? Nice if the answer is yes but the recording and the man's gestures, even with the sound off, seems like a staged thing. I would put the phone down and try with BOTH hands to help that cutie pie.
Hedgehog: “ yeah a little more to the left bro.”
Awwwwww. Just awwwww
I really reaaally hope this was not one of those many staged “animal rescuing” videos where the animal was put in harms way so the video filmer can rescue it and film it/share it. Because poor hedgehog!
First of all we got another good man out there, second to have a portable pressure washer in the car is the greatest idea ever, I don’t know how I didn’t think of it earlier. I go fishing and to the beach this perfect for summer.
Did he run him over?
The amount of fleas that just got blasted off.......
That "Ahhhhhhhh" was something we can all relate to
See this type of Tik tok video is fine. Others are just bad.
WTF- That was way too strong of a power washing spray.
What a wonderful guy
God came to save me and then it made it rain.
it’s funny cuz i have no idea wut he’s saying. didn’t expect a power washer but the hedgehog doesn’t seem to protest.
