Line 23 ⟶ 20:
The lengthened neck and forelimbs of the '''hedgimal''' help it feed on the robust arid ferine. It mostly feeds on young [[Robust Arid Ferine|robust arid ferines]], for it is not tall enough to fully exploit the resource of fully grown robust arid ferines. To be specific, it has access to less than half of the flora's crown.

However, it still has access to the entirety of the flora's trunk, from which it gnaws off bark. When shoots, flowers, and fruits are out of season in autumn and winter, it eats almost exclusively the bark of the robust arid ferine. It switches to the more nutritious items when they are available.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
It has rudimentary vision and poor echolocation ability, which is why it inadvertently brushes against vegetation. The "whiskers" on its feet and chest help it detect objects near them, but, since it has no "whiskers" on its flanks, it has little warning that it is brushing against something.
