Hi, I’m Jacopo
And today I’ll tell you about
The lowground streaked tenrec
Tenrecs mostly live in Madagascar
In Madagascar there a lot of awesome endemic creatures
25.000 species of different animals
And most of them are endangered because of deforestation
Endemic means that a creature lives only in one place
For example ring-tailed lemur
Red ruffed lemur
Aye-ayes
Tarsiers
Panther chameleon
Hissing cockroach
And giant leaf-tail gecko
The lowground streaked ternec
Is special
because it’s the only mammal that can rub its quills
Together to call its family
Or to warn others
About predators
This is the same way of making sounds that
Crickets and rattlesnakes use
Humans need special microphones to
Hear this sound
Because it’s very high pitched
This is the sound recorded by BBC
The tenrec’s predators are Malagasy civet
The beautiful ring-tail mongoose
And fossa
That is the top predator in Madagascar
And eats juts about everything
The fossa is of the same family
Of mongooses but looks like a feline
You can also see all these incredible animals
In the Madagascar movie series
Maurice is a aye-aye
King Julian is a ring tail lemur
Mort is a cute mouse lemur
And the fossas
