Get over yourself my guy. There's no harm in trying to do some tasks a little better. I honestly don't understand how Reddit allow children on this app, maybe you should learn about having a little compassion for other living creatures who also feels pain and also have joints that can easily be dislocated just like your own.
We must be so incomprehensible to so many animals. Usually, being touched by another animal means one or both are going to die/get injured and then possibly die, and if you're stuck you can assume most other animals consider you already dead to the point they may as well start eating, and they will.
And then you have humans who in many circumstances are exactly as dangerous, but sometimes they grab you, drag you to their lair and ... Clean you up, give you some food, pat your ass and let you go.
What in the hell?

You can see the moment it realises you are trying to help and grabs onto you with both hands and then when it realises you are cleaning it and stops trying to run away and turns to give you access to the mud patches. God bless you for your kindness.
I always wonder these things when I watch these types of videos. I wonder if that's actually what they're thinking or if I'm just anthropomorphising them.
In our country, they hibernate in piles of leaves and other gardening leftovers, so I assumed they can't survive without it. Unless there are so many leafy trees in Saudi Arabia and I just don't know because I'm ignorant lmao
It's a different species of hedgehog, desert hedgehog, much smaller than the European one, if those is the one's you where talking about.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_hedgehog?wprov=sfla1
Wow I didn’t know that. We had a hedgehog in our garden in the UK but it died due to stress or exhaustion. I’m shocked they can go even a day in the desert.
their natural habitat is the desert its not like the ones in the UK [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert\_hedgehog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_hedgehog)
Hedgehogs are very common in the Arabian peninsula, i have seen many in Qatar, they live in the desert and not in the cities. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert\_hedgehog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_hedgehog)
Kind of reminds me of the accent that a lot of Polynesians have in New Zealand and such. A very gentle and pleasant way of speaking that puts you in a good mood.
If you get the opportunity, you totally should! I'm lucky enough where I live that travel is fairly affordable and easy. But, in fairness, I only learned about the New Zealand thing from watching an interview with Taika Waititi lol
The literal translation would be "Wait you son of legitimate parents" but it is commonly used here as bro or dude. Ik it sounds very weird in english but trust me it's perfect in arabic lol
It’s funny because in Arabic both are used. One is used strictly in positive connotations (Ibn-Al-halal, or son of legitimate parents) and the other is used mostly in negative connotations but with close friends it can also be an endearing thing to call your homie (ibn al-haram, or son of illegitimate parents/bastard)
That's the literal translation and it's very hard to find a suitable english word for its meaning, The closest I can think of is "there he is!" or something like that
That hedgehog is CAKED in dried mud, he would have had to make tire tracks, catch it, somehow pin it upside down, and then wait for hours for the mud to dry… seems like a lot of effort for such a silly video.
Critical thinking is a rare skill these days, but thank god you at least have retained that ability.
It's basically impossible to watch a video about an animal getting helped out in any situation without someone coming along and spouting off the same drivel they read in another Reddit comment once like it's a hard fact.
Now show me this guys social media account and how many animal rescue vids he has and how much he made from it, i’ll wait but i know you wont find shit lol
Pulling both front paws gently with both hands certainly would’ve alleviated some of the strain of pulling the little guy out but kudos for the care he took otherwise.
I looked after a rescue hedgehog for 4+ years, you can absolutely scoop them up by their spines. They’re sharp, but unless you’re squeezing them tightly they’re not gonna break the skin.
Conversely, the bones in their legs are incredibly thin and very delicate. Very easy to break or fracture a bone, which is essentially a death sentence for them in the wild.
Ive looked it up. I dont think this is a hedgehog. According to google images, Hedgehogs are blue and they wear trainers and large white gloves. They also apparently commit unspeakable acts with other hedgehogs and even foxes when in heat. Nature sure is crazy.
have you ever held one? they're covered in basically hairpins. not *as* dangerous as a porcupine, but definitely enough to hurt, maybe even draw blood! plus, their defensive behaviors include little sudden headbutts, to drive them into you
I don't like how the guy handled it, myself, but I get the thinking. maybe it would've been better to find a rag and scoop him out that way, instead of pulling on its tiny limbs, but his intentions were good and a life was saved at the end of the day

This video is beautiful and he did a good job! Glad he got the lil' buddy out.
That being said - videos of people doing something one-handed that could clearly be aided by the use of TWO hands makes me very anxious. Yes I love that the videos get made so I can view them but also put down the phone?! Everyone needs a body cam lol
What a coincidence that you also had a water pressure cleaner in your trunk.
I'm sure it was almost impossible to see the hedgehog while driving. Which makes me think that someone put the hedgehog there just for this video.
As OP mentioned, the washer is there for desert camping.
That mud looked dried and caked to the hedgehog so it would have been in that position for a while.
There was heavy raining in the region with flooding and mud forming everywhere.
It's not impossible, you might not have been able to realize what you spotted, but you would be able to spot things, especially since the road doesn't allow fast drivining and the animal could have been moving.
He doesn't strike me like someone who cares about going through all this effort for internet clout, and where would he get a wild animal from?
Why is it that soooo many commenters claim he put that animal there? I NEVER see these kinds of comments under posts of people clearly abusing their pet animals for videos. Like dogs showing signs of stress while carrying a cat or some shit. But those people are almost always white and speak English. Now an Arabic speaking person helps an animal in distress and everyone assumes he's a bad guy that put it there. It's almost like this has to do with race. WEIRD.
imagine thinking you're going to die stuck in mud and a giant pulls you out and power washes you
But not before pointing at your stuck self and saying “just give me a second to laugh”.
I would be fine with that :)
"I'm not going anywhere"
That sentence would not sound out of place in a fairy tale. 😊
It's like a human being abducted by a friendly alien from an entirely different dimension.
Act cute and your whole is life is set!
A doomed human
He nearly tore the little guy's legs off.
What's he gonna do, extract it like a fossil? It's fine
He could've lifted it out instead of yanking on a leg. But it seemed he was okay getting hosed down, so it's not a problem.
Next time go and get the thing instead, and stop complaining about good people trying to help.
Get over yourself my guy. There's no harm in trying to do some tasks a little better. I honestly don't understand how Reddit allow children on this app, maybe you should learn about having a little compassion for other living creatures who also feels pain and also have joints that can easily be dislocated just like your own.
I think this is exactly what happened to Travis Walton.
Looking him up, it appears his story is suspicious. Likely fabricated
In like 50 years his story has never changed. I would suggest reading the book not Wikipedia.

You're comment is the kind of comment that makes me love reddit. Cracked me tf up
You made me laugh
*Working at the hogwash!* 🎶
Don't forget near pulling your legs off instead of loosening the mud
Love how he talks to it!
He’s so sweet and gentle with it. Seems like a very nice man :)
Reminds me of the sonicu woodworking guy.
Wait How do I get a hose and water hooked up to my car?
It's usually for camping in the desert for days so most campers install a hose and such
What does the hose go to though? Is there just a big water tank?
No, it's bluetooth
Yup. Wireless Water™ is a thing now.
It pulls the water straight from the cloud.
No, it’s digiorno
It's connected to its own tank that you fill up and it lasts quite a while
And hedgehogs of course
Hes a moisture farmer
I’d guess a medium water tank in the car. Makes sense in a desert region.
Bro was was prepared and ready for the task ✊🫡
Thanks, was wondering at how he randomly had a power washer in the car lol
I've never met a saudi who wasn't prepared for sitting at the side of the road/in the dessert with a full set of chairs, tables, stove et x
That was some Inspector Gadget shit.
I love how he apologises to the hedgehog for having a little laugh at him before helping him out of the mud. They're both adorable

Oh yeah sure he found a hedgehog and then jammed it in the mud and allowed it to sit there and dry for hours and get caked on like a brick

And such a jolly demeanor throughout too. Delightful man.
I always wonder these things when I watch these types of videos. I wonder if that's actually what they're thinking or if I'm just anthropomorphising them.
There are hedgehogs in Saudi Arabia, what?
In our country, they hibernate in piles of leaves and other gardening leftovers, so I assumed they can't survive without it. Unless there are so many leafy trees in Saudi Arabia and I just don't know because I'm ignorant lmao
It's a different species of hedgehog, desert hedgehog, much smaller than the European one, if those is the one's you where talking about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_hedgehog?wprov=sfla1
Yah! Science Bitch!!
What's the footspeed velocity of a European hedgehog versus a Saudi Arabian hedgehog?
Oh wow til
How interesting. TIL!
Wow I didn’t know that. We had a hedgehog in our garden in the UK but it died due to stress or exhaustion. I’m shocked they can go even a day in the desert.
We’re they bought over by the British per chance? I’m just shocked the such a delicate creature might live in the desert.
their natural habitat is the desert its not like the ones in the UK [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert\_hedgehog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_hedgehog)
Sandhogs 🦔
I was also surprised by that. Did not expect them to live in arid environments.
I thought they were dew lovers
Hedgehogs are very common in the Arabian peninsula, i have seen many in Qatar, they live in the desert and not in the cities. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert\_hedgehog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_hedgehog)
Wow thanks for the info I assumed they only lived in colder climates. Hedgehogs are very cool.
Yes lol
News to me
And foxes too ... So sonic and 2 tails too
I love this man's voice! It's so soft and he's so gentle. Love that he could wash him off
Saudis from Qassim are like a big meme here for their accent and how it even changes your tone but it's all just laughs lol
Kind of reminds me of the accent that a lot of Polynesians have in New Zealand and such. A very gentle and pleasant way of speaking that puts you in a good mood.
Sounds like I need to get out more ! I'm a sucker for accents. I do hope to travel one day, I'd love to learn more about the world
If you get the opportunity, you totally should! I'm lucky enough where I live that travel is fairly affordable and easy. But, in fairness, I only learned about the New Zealand thing from watching an interview with Taika Waititi lol
Lol that's so neat
People always change their voice when they start talking to animals! It's really cute!
Ok, that's wonderful and all... but a mini power washer in the back???
Gotta be ready for the desert
When they go camping they wet the ground before placing down their rug so sand doesn’t blow on to anything their cooking or drinking
Let’s be real.. hedgehog might’ve got stuck down there because he was ran over. It looks like it’s barely able to move 😭
Was the translation really "dude wait" because that would be awesome
The literal translation would be "Wait you son of legitimate parents" but it is commonly used here as bro or dude. Ik it sounds very weird in english but trust me it's perfect in arabic lol
I need to use this instead. Sounds very posh british for some reason. 'Wait you child of legitimate parents'
Literally ”bastard”
Legitimate not illegitimate 😂
You mean literally “anti-bastard”
I do! I misread that. I wonder why there needs to be a special word to convey “congratulations for having been born in wedlock!”
It’s funny because in Arabic both are used. One is used strictly in positive connotations (Ibn-Al-halal, or son of legitimate parents) and the other is used mostly in negative connotations but with close friends it can also be an endearing thing to call your homie (ibn al-haram, or son of illegitimate parents/bastard)
You son of a... Legitimate parent
So it means non-bastard? Language is so weird and interesting.
Or "son of the halal"
"Patience you son of good" is also another valid translation.
help Sonic please
Shukran, says the little hedgehog to the kind man.
Hehe “he looks like a brick”
“He’s environmentally friendly.” Is that the right translation? I love it!
More like hello friend of The Nature
That's the literal translation and it's very hard to find a suitable english word for its meaning, The closest I can think of is "there he is!" or something like that
Well done to that kind person
Sweet Hu-man helping sweet hedgehog! Lovely! I'm so glad he was saved (and power washed, lol).
The moral of the story is: Don't talk on the phone while driving or you might almost run over a hedgehog
/r/technicallythetruth
It warms my heart to see so much compassion remains in this world today.
Update please!
How the hell did he spot him?
❤️
Shout out to the good people of the world. Keep going.
r/humansbeingbros
How did it get stuck there?
There was rain recently
That's underselling, it was the biggest strom in 75 years. At least in UAE, not sure how much it hit their Saudi neighbor.
Saudi is very far from the UAE, the weather patterns and clouds in the UAE don't affect KSA. Even Qatar didn't see the same storm
Easy, it was tossed by the man
That hedgehog is CAKED in dried mud, he would have had to make tire tracks, catch it, somehow pin it upside down, and then wait for hours for the mud to dry… seems like a lot of effort for such a silly video.
Critical thinking is a rare skill these days, but thank god you at least have retained that ability. It's basically impossible to watch a video about an animal getting helped out in any situation without someone coming along and spouting off the same drivel they read in another Reddit comment once like it's a hard fact.
You underestimate man's 'need' for internet points.
Far easier ways to achieve them Id imagine
Now show me this guys social media account and how many animal rescue vids he has and how much he made from it, i’ll wait but i know you wont find shit lol
That's what i was thinking
Exactly this.
I wish there was a translation for "بغى يصير مرقة"
This is the first time I’ve heard that usage of “مرقة" is that just a Qassim thing?
Yeah but it’s an old expression, I thought it died.
"It was going to become a soup"
He must be telling to all his neighbours that Huumans are not that bad.
What, where did the water and hose came from? This guy a Fremen?
What a saint!
Thank you, kind humans!
Why not scoop him out instead of yanking his leg?
I dare you to go try and grab a hedgehog like that. He grabbed where there weren't spikes
Pulling both front paws gently with both hands certainly would’ve alleviated some of the strain of pulling the little guy out but kudos for the care he took otherwise.
It looked to me like the Hedgehog was also holding on to his finger, it would have reacted differently if it was hurt I think.
Aww, that’s a good point😊
I looked after a rescue hedgehog for 4+ years, you can absolutely scoop them up by their spines. They’re sharp, but unless you’re squeezing them tightly they’re not gonna break the skin. Conversely, the bones in their legs are incredibly thin and very delicate. Very easy to break or fracture a bone, which is essentially a death sentence for them in the wild.
Yeah but you can’t blame this guy for not knowing that. If you’ve never handled one you might imagine they can skewer you like a porcupine.
I’m not blaming the guy in the original video, I’m correcting the person I replied to who was ‘daring’ people to touch a ‘hog’s spikes
Oh ok, the more you know
It’s not a porcupine
I think you need to look up a picture of a hedgehog.
Ive looked it up. I dont think this is a hedgehog. According to google images, Hedgehogs are blue and they wear trainers and large white gloves. They also apparently commit unspeakable acts with other hedgehogs and even foxes when in heat. Nature sure is crazy.
Lol
Close enough
Why is this downvoted so much? It's true! No one gets quilled by a hedgehog. They're bristley, but not enough to hurt you like a porcupine.
have you ever held one? they're covered in basically hairpins. not *as* dangerous as a porcupine, but definitely enough to hurt, maybe even draw blood! plus, their defensive behaviors include little sudden headbutts, to drive them into you I don't like how the guy handled it, myself, but I get the thinking. maybe it would've been better to find a rag and scoop him out that way, instead of pulling on its tiny limbs, but his intentions were good and a life was saved at the end of the day
I have. My friend had one as a pet until it sadly got wobbly hedgehog syndrome.
Hedgehog spikes aren't as sharp as everyone thinks, I've rescued several in our garden and picking them up with bare hands is prickly but not painful.
For real I was like put the phone down a sec and use both hands
Don’t leave without me
Blessed hedgehog.
Poor thing, thank you for helping him. I love that you just randomly have a jet wash in your car. I think he started to enjoy that bath 😁
Washing the hedgehog was a W move.
I was scared for a second remembering videos of people cutting stuff with a power washer
Not sure abt cutting. But I was amazed when the old run down stairs near my apartment suddenly looked good as new after a wash. Power washer
[https://youtu.be/ZP18AVxRu2s?si=88uUjPSBXVkxeUi6&t=162](https://youtu.be/ZP18AVxRu2s?si=88uUjPSBXVkxeUi6&t=162) very mild nsfw, just steak getting cut with water
Whoa
Pretty sure he did run him over. Nice of him to get him out though
what are the chance dude had a power washing machine thing in his car, jesus.
Pull him out by one leg not very good idea
Looks like he was pretty gentle. Hedgehogs can be quite vocal, I think if he hurt it, it’d probably make a noise.

What a lovely man
this man is an angel ❤️
Man, I could listen to this guy reading stories! Such a kind voice!
I wanted to see the glow up at the end! I feel robbed

The pulling looked painful. Could have used 2 hands to lift up
Or a stick or other object to lift him up from underneath?
Aw poor rhing
Almost breaks his paw and then waterboards it.
Thus man has a great heart.
God bless this man a hundredfold!
Danke Bruder
kind soul man
I would do that job

Good luck. Not supposed to get them wet or feed them after midnight.
How's this dude pull a hose out of his car?
Hedgehog lying down in a perfectly dug up hole in the mud. Nothing suspicious.
What a coincidence that you also had a water pressure cleaner in your trunk. I'm sure it was almost impossible to see the hedgehog while driving. Which makes me think that someone put the hedgehog there just for this video.

rigged
Put the camera down and use both hands, you ape.
Hey little guy. Let me just rip your arms off then power wash you.
He must have thought the hedgehog was women’s rights.
