'Ghost hedgehogs' on Dorset roads highlight animals' plight

Wildlife group puts up wooden shapes to remind drivers to slow down as hedgehog declared vulnerable to extinction

Ghost hedgehogs" are starting to appear on roadsides in Dorset to highlight the plight of hedgehogs killed by fast-moving vehicles.

The hedgehogs, made of white-painted wood, are being put up by the Dorset Mammal Group after one small village, Pimperne, reported more than 20 squashed hedgehogs on its roads in just one year.
