	Digimorph - Hemicentetes semispinosus (Lowland Streaked Tenrec)
		Tenrecs are small mammals (head and body length: 40-400 mm) and many, but not all, have greatly reduced tails and bodies covered with bristly hair or quills (Nowak, 1991).
		All tenrecs are endemic to Africa; this includes Madagascar, western and central equatorial Africa, and the Comoro Islands (Nowak, 1991).
		Hemicentetes semispinosus is a smallish tenrec (head and body length about 140 mm) with spiny pelage that is fl with a median stripe on the head and three stripes running along the length of the back of the body (Marshall and Eisenberg, 1996:1).

	Tenrecidae
		Tenrecs are small, insectivorous mammals once thought allied with the insectivores, and now on the basis of genetic studies, with the hodge-podge of African mammals simply called 'afrotheres'.
		Tenrecs are certainly odd mammals, in any case, lacking jugal (cheek) bones and unable to maintain a constant body temperature.
		The stinky tenrec lairs in disused chambers of the cityfinch nests, and feeds extensively on the symbiotic and parasitic beetles, lizards, and other small animals that infest the nests.

	Tenrec - LoveToKnow 1911
		TENREC (Centetes ecaudatus), one of the largest representatives of the mammalian order Insectivora, the length being from 12 in.
		In habits the tenrec is fossorial and nocturnal; its home is in the brush in the mountain regions, and in the cool season, from May or June till December, it hibernates in deep burrows.
		The long flexible snout is used to root up worms and grubs, and ground-insects form part of its nourishment.

		Tenrecs can't fly, and 300 miles of open ocean is too far for them to swim.
		By comparing the genes from the different types of tenrecs-and there are some 30 species living on Madagascar today-Olson and other scientists have discovered that all of the tenrecs on the island are descended from a common ancestor that lived less than 50 million years ago.

		The differences are such that even the greater hedgehog tenrec (Setifer setosus) is not the same genus as the lesser hedgehog tenrec.
		When contracted, these muscles pull the skin of the brow down over the ears and face; the arms and feet are pulled in and the drawstring effect closes the skin around everything and tight against the belly.
		When the tenrec becomes a little ball of prickles, the hairs are randomly pulled in all directions and it becomes an impossible item to swallow and very uncomfortable to handle.

		The tenrec is a perfect model for studying and investigating evolution.
		Hecht (2003) adds that the tenrec’s ancestors were one of four major ancestral groups that traveled across this channel, by clinging to drifting material.
		Tenrec morphology has radiated within species in such a way that they are also morphologically similar to many other distinct mammals including mice, otters, hedgehogs and opossums (Asher, 2001).

	Tenrecs of Madagascar
		Tenrecs are unusual insectivores that have radiated into ecological niches filled in other lands by hedgehogs, mice, shrews, opossums, and even otters.
		Perhaps the most unusual tenrec is the rare Web-footed Tenrec (Limnogale mergulus) which resembles a river otter and inhabits streams, marshes and lakes (elevation: 600-2,000 meters) where it feeds on frogs, crustaceans, insect larvae, and fish.
		Tenrecs are currently included in the Insectivora order although new evidence suugests they should be "placed within a group of African mammals, the Afrotheria, which includes aardvarks, elephants, hyraxes, sea cows, elephant shrews, and golden moles" (Walker's Mammals of the World).

	Lowland streaked tenrec - Hemicentetes semispinosus: More Information - ARKive
		The lowland streaked tenrec is a medium-sized, slender tenrec, which closely resembles juvenile common tenrecs (Tenrecs ecaudatus) (3).
		Unusually for tenrecs, the lowland streaked tenrec is active both at night and during the day, and is the only species to form groups.
		All tenrec species are thought to be at risk from disturbance by tourists, reducing the value of protected areas (4).

	Hedgehog Central
		If it were not for the fact that hedgehogs and Tenrecs inhabit entirely different geographic areas, however, (there are no hedgehogs on any of the islands inhabited by Tenrecs) they would probably be mistaken for one another.
		Tenrecs have been in captivity for about the same length of time as hedgehogs, but due to their slow reproductive capabilities, they are not nearly so numerous or popular.
		Tenrecs can be housed just like hedgehogs and, since they too are insectivores, they can be fed a similar diet.

	Lesser hedgehog tenrec
		The Name "Tenrec": "Tenrec" is from the Madagascar Malagasy word "tandraka." "Hedgehog" is a misnomer, since the animal is neither a hedge, nor a hog.
		Behavior: The lesser hedgehog tenrec is both terrestrial and arboreal, spending daytime hours resting under a log or in a hollow tree, although trees are widely scattered in its native habitat.
		Echinops and the greater hedgehog tenrec are the only tenrec species completely covered with spines on the back, including the head, and it is able to roll into a tight ball for defense.
