    Hedgehogs are (possibly singular and self-intersecting) hypersurfaces that describe Minkowski differences of convex bodies in Rn+1. They are the natural geometrical objects when one seeks to extend parts of the Brunn–Minkowski theory to a vector space which contains convex bodies. In this paper, we prove that in every generic path of hedgehogs performing the eversion of the sphere in R3, there exists a hedgehog that has positive swallowtails. This study was motivated by an open problem raised in 1985 by Langevin, Levitt, and Rosenberg
