They are european hedgehogs because that's where they are from.

They mostly spread out into woodlands and other kinds of forests because that is the habitat they mosly fit into.

They brought the species there to make people feel more comfortable, and then they realized that european hedgehogs could do more than that. They got rid of garden pests and that would help many people, so they brought more.

As I said before, they get rid of unwanted pests and that is a positive impact. They have a negative impact because they are also pests. They eat the eggs of birds and that may not be good for the ecosystem.

They could also hunt them and kill them until there is not a lot left.
