	Almiqui
		The Almiqui (Solenodon cubanus) is an insectivore native to Cuba, believed extinct until rediscovered in 2003 in the eastern mountains.
		The Cuban Almiqui was mistakenly believed extinct since the last sighting in 1999 mainly because it is a nocturnal burrower, living underground.
		The Almiqui belongs to the family Solenodontidae along with a similar species, the Agouta (Solenodon paradoxus), which was once also native to Haiti.

		Now, feral cats are the greatest threat, since the areas the solenodon inhabit(s) is shitty mongoose territory.
		Deforestation is another cause of the dwindling Almiqui population (belived to be in the tens).
		Solenodons have a long life span, not because they secrete poison from a gland above their teeth, (that's for subduing prey), but because they were among the dominant predators before Europeans colonized the New World.

		Cuban Solenodons (Almiqui) have relatively large heads, tiny eyes, and large, projecting and partially naked ears.
		They have a long probiscus with a supporting bone.
		They usually have twins and they leave them in a nest during the day while they forage, unlike the Ring-tails which carry their young around at all times on their bodies.
