If you Mix a Bumblebee and a Shrew, this is what you Get…




This is (drumroll, please) the lowland streaked tenrec (Hemicentetes semispinosus), a small, emphasis on very cute, mammal found solely on the island of Madagascar*. It’s bumblebee-colored and is definitely my new favorite tenrec species.

Besides, of course, the lesser hedgehog tenrec (Echinops telfairi). Move over, lowland streaked tenrec.

They eat all kinds of bugs. (Delish.)

*I just realized ALL tenrecs live on Madagascar. Silly me :)
