Lowland Streaked Tenrec

Hemicentetes semispinosusYellow

In the damp leaf litter of Madagascar’s lowland forests, a lowland streaked tenrec bristles with yellow and black spines that look painted by a wild hand. Its pointed snout twitches constantly as it searches for insects and worms.

Overview

The animal behind the card

Unlike many spiny mammals, this tiny creature can produce faint sounds by rubbing certain quills together, a form of communication known as stridulation. The noise is subtle, more felt than clearly heard, but it may help family members keep track of one another.

When threatened, the tenrec arches its back, presenting a forest of sharp defenses to any would be predator. It is a reminder that some of the planet’s strangest and most inventive designs are reserved for its smallest inhabitants.
