Fair warning, this video has “cuteness overload” written all over it

But for the wonders of the Internet, many miraculous things would forever remain unknown to your average Joe and Jane who, for one reason or another, has no time to go about exploring the world on their own.

One of these things is what a baby hedgehog's tongue looks like. Granted, you could probably go on living for at least a couple more decades without ever stopping to ponder on this mystery.

Still, now that somebody has been kind enough to clear things out for us, why not jump at the chance to see a baby hedgehog's tongue sooner rather than later?

Truth be told, the video below made in online some time ago, on April 30. However, it is only now that it is starting to make rounds on the Internet, probably because people cannot stop sharing and posting it.

The footage is only a few seconds long, so you're probably not expecting to get much out of it. Still, being the responsible adult I am (or at least pretend to be most of the time), I have to warn you: it might kill you.

And what you will likely experience will be a slow and sweet death brought about by an acute case of cuteness overload.

Here's hoping you will find the video to your taste, and do share your thoughts on it in the comments section.
