THE LOWLAND STREAKED TENREC

THE LOWLAND STREAKED TENREC

           Lowland Streaked Tenrecs is look alike a combination between  a hedgehog and a bumblebee and it can fit our little hands. The Lowland streaked is very cute and really suitable with colour which is spiky bristles between their fur and distinct black and yellowish stripes and with the unusual of the spiky yellow bristles around their head, helps them to disguise in the forest floor. The predator also easily can be fooled by these little mammals.

           This little mammals can only be found in the Madagascar and have two type of species, which is Hemicentetes, H. semispinosus and H. nigriceps.For these mammals they only can live for 30 (high) months for some range lifespan, for the average lifespan is 2.6 years. The impressive thing about these little mammals is they are active in day and night different than other animals which is only active in either day nor night.
                     
In my opinion the cutest and unique things about these Trenrercs  is their way to communicate with each other’s ,the males will may fight over females by biting each other, head-butting, or grappling, but they are generally docile. Head-butting is extremely useful during scuffles over mates due to an enlarged frontalis muscle on the forehead that increases mobility of the facial spines. In addition the female are also not so aggressive and they are being polite with not avoiding between them. They also use Nose-touching to interaction between individuals. They are so small and yet so easy to handle and if I got chances I would love to take them as a unique and special pets. These mammals vermivorous (worm-eating) type of mammals and the animals that they can eat is Insects, terrestrial non-insect arthropods, terrestrial worms. These animals can be treated by the natural animals, human also are the predators for this little Tenrecs.It is such a honor for me to know this little mammals and I do love them for the rest for my life.
