I was just buying some stock phoyo over at istockphoto and I just made a reseach on hedgehog and I came up with those interesting picture

I wonder what kind of hedgehog it is because I've never saw such mask (and those lovely big floppy ears). Could it be retouched?

With that mask, I'm guessing egyptian long eared

Looks like a long ear to me too. Im not sure if they have been able to breed colors yet with them but it kinda looks like selective breeding was involved because Ive never seen any with the colors like that.

I really wish we could get these kinds of hedgehogs in the states, they are very beautiful. I think Ive seen someone with a Brandt's Hedgehog on here also and they are very unique and beautiful too.

I just looked up Brandt's hedgehog in google images and they are quite unique and adorable creatures, as you said Hedgieonboard. I've never heard of them, though, where do they commonly live, Africa/Asia? Are they usually all black colored?

Could it be retouched?

Possibly, if you could find a designer willing to give it a go, I've seen some wild photo manipulations in my day so I know Photoshop is capable of amazing feats. ^_^

What exactly do you mean by retouch? Altering it to look like an APH, or something else?

If I remember right the Brandt's Hedgehogs are from Iran. I think Im just becoming hedgie obsessed because they all look adorable to me now lol

I meant the mask could have been retouched before beeing sold on istock (like it was all white but they colored it or something). I see ton of photos there that you can really see have been retouched.

And I wouldn't need someone to retouch for me since I'm a designer too
