Hi, my name is Jacopo and today I’ll tell you about the lowground streaked tenrec. Tenrecs mostly live in Madagascar. In Madagascar there are a lo 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, tarsier, panther chameleon, hissing cockroach, and the giant leaf tail gecko. The e lowground streaked tenrec is special because he is the only mammal that can rub its quills together to make a sound to call his 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 tailed mongoose and fossa, that is the top predator in Madagascar and eats just about everything. The fossa is of the same family as the 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-tailed lemur, Mort is a cute mouse lemur, and the fossas. Thank you for watching, be sure to subscribe and we’ll see you next time.
