Depending on where you live in the world, deer are a part of many woodlands and forests. And they usually feature in fairy tales too. Deer are known for being quiet and gentle creatures, and we can see why some people see them as magical animals.

Hedgehogs are another animal commonly found in forests, snuffling around in the leaves. These spiky little creatures are amicable, slightly wary creatures - they'll roll into a ball to protect themselves when they feel that they're in danger. Despite their spiky exterior, we think these animals are the cutest.
