Biology question

https://freesvg.org/hedgehog-clip-art says it's a hedgehog ( spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae), but the description says it's a porcupine (Old World porcupines of family Hystricidae or the New World porcupines of family Erethizontidae).

What is it?

LOL - I love the attention to detail liftarn, it's a silhouette so it could be anything in my opinion, might even be a brush but if I were to hazard a guess my money would be on Echidnas due to the large snout, I only know this as I checked google.

We should put a vote out on twitter asking people what is it?, it's like one of those blue dress gold dress challenges.

H,i it was me that added this title. The name of svg file is Echidna so I changed the title and description to that name. It looked like a hedgehog to me initially.

Re: Biology question

Another biology question. Is https://freesvg.org/cartoon-lemming-vector-illustration really a lemming?

Re: Biology question

Doesn't look like any lemming I've ever seen looks like bull or bison to me. more likely bull. I've came across this image in the past, it's part of a larger collection of cartoon animals i believe so it wouldn't suprise me if the author mixed the fileenames up, or ocal done this at some point maintaining the collection.

I changed it to bovine. However the original name of the svg is lemming which may explain how the title went wrong. It certainly is not lemming, thanks for locating this image.
