  Maintenance and reproduction of tenrecs (Tenrecidae) at Parc Tsimbazaza, Madagascar
The Tenrecidae (Mammalia, Insectivora) includes an ancient lineage of eutherian mammals endemic to Madagascar (Eisenberg and Gould, 1970).
The family is comprised of three subfamilies, the Tenrecinae and Oryzorictinae of Madagascar, with eight genera and 26 species, and the Potamogalinae, the otter-shrews, from Africa (Genest and Petter, 1974; Corbet and Hill, 1991; Stephenson, 1991, in press).
The factors affecting the onset of breeding in the Tenrecidae are poorly understood.

 Digimorph - Hemicentetes semispinosus (Lowland Streaked Tenrec)
Hemicentetes semispinosus, the streaked tenrec, is one of 23 extant species of the clade Tenrecidae (Nowak, 1991).
The fossil record of Tenrecidae extends from Miocene - Recent in mainland Africa, and Pleistocene - Recent in Madagascar (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, an understudied family of placental mammals known as “tenrecs”, includes twenty-seven species that have been isolated on the island of Madagascar for at least thirty million years.
From the hedgehog-like Setifer, to the otter-like aquatic Limnogale, to the mole-like, digging Oryzorictes, tenrecs exhibit an extraordinary variety of forms, habitats, and locomotor behaviors.
Tenrecidae’s supposed “primitive” mammalian status, coupled with its interspecific ecological diversity make this an ideal family for exploring hypotheses related to the adaptive evolution and function of skeletal form.
