Day 8:
The Lowland Streaked Tenrec lives and only exists in Madagascar. They can be found either in the savannah or rain forests. They have black and yellow quills that run down their back. Tenrecs make 7-16 specialized sounds are found in both species when they rub their quills they make a high frequency sound. They are quite sociable and can be solitary well at least when they hibernate. Their diet consists, insects, terrestrial non-insect arthropods, and terrestrial worms. They live about 2.7 years in the wild, and 2.6 years in captivity. The females can have about 1-11 offspring but usually the average is 4. When they are born they don’t have spines but they do develop within 24 hours. The Tenrec weighs about 4.41-9.87 oz and are 5.51 inches in length. With their small size its easier to hide from their main predators. The Boa con stricter, Ring-tail Mongoose, fossa, civets and humans. If you've heard of the Lowland Streaked Tenrec comment telling me what else you know about them. Anyways until next time.
