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).
You can check out more photos of PunPun on her Instagram page.
Puppy Is Reportedly Not Impressed
According to reports out of Seattle, Howie, a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, is completely underwhelmed this morning. Friends have tried everything to break Howie out of his funk, but he’s simple uninterested in anything presented to him.
“We’ve tried giving him treats, taking him for walks, throwing his favorite ball around – nothing,” said Lorraine Hicks. “He’s just indifferent to everything.”
No one is quite sure why the dog is so unenthused.
“I mean, the Mariners landed Robinson Cano, the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl, everything is coming up Howie,” said Hicks of the pup, who is apparently a huge local sports fan. “I don’t get why he’s so aloof.”
Hicks hopes that it’s just a temporary malaise and will blow over soon.
