  1. family tenrecidae

    Family Tenrecidae is a group of mammals on the order Afrosoricida, which contains 34 species across ten genera native to Madagascar and parts of the African mainland. They are more commonly known as tenrecs. This family is diverse in terms of size and physical characteristics but they all tend to have elongated snouts, small eyes and ears, and dense fur or spines. How much they rely on sight, scent, or sound for communication can vary greatly from species to species. Some, like the aquatic tenrec, have adapted to specific habitats while others are more flexible in their environment preferences. The family also includes the tailless streaked tenrec, whose members can stridulate, or make sound by rubbing body parts together. This is rare among mammals.
