Pelikan und Kröte werden es in Besitz nehmen, Ibis und Rabe werden darin wohnen; [Gott] spannt darüber die Maßschnur der Verödung und das Lot der Verwüstung.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
קפוד Hedgehog.16A. V., Bittern. Well known;17It seems as if I. E. used the word well-known when he was at a loss to substitute another word for it. He derives the word קפוד from קפד to fold or to roll together because of its peculiar habit of rolling itself into a ball. See I. E. on 14:23. the root of this word is met with in קפדתי I have rolled together (38:12).18In his remark on 38:12, I. E. explains קפדתי by כפלתי I folded together.
