This Is PunPun: the Smartest Hedgehog in Japan

Meet PunPun, a six-month-old hedgie from Japan whose intelligence is testing off the charts.

“We’ve not seen anything quite like it,” said Hideki Komatsu, a professor of hedgehog science at Kyushu University.  "PunPun’s IQ is testing at 152, which is near genius for humans – it is unheard of for hedgehogs.“

PunPun’s friends say she keeps busy by reading from her large collection of books, and trying to best her own record at solving a Rubik’s cube (personal best: 73 seconds).
