Distribution and habitat
It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.[2]
Description
The lesser hedgehog tenrec is a small, stout-bodied animal similar to the hedgehog, hence the name. Their tails are short, their limbs and muzzles are of moderate length, and their ears are prominent. The entire dorsum is covered with sharp spines. Color is usually yellow buff; individuals range from near white to almost black. Head and body length is 5 to 6.8 inches (13 to 17 cm). Weight is about 7 ounces (0.2 kg).
Tenrecs have a cloaca (common uro-genital opening), like a bird or a reptile.[3]
Behavior
This tenrec is terrestrial.[4]
Shelter and hibernation
It spends its daytime hours resting under a log or in a hollow tree, although trees are widely scattered in its native habitat. In hot weather, it sleeps with its body extended, but otherwise lies in a curled position to rest. It enters a state of torpor in the winter time.[3]
Diet
They mostly feed upon insects but may prey on small vertebrates, and usually forage alone, except for a mother with her young.
Reproduction
Breeding is known to occur in October but may depend on warm weather first arousing the animals from winter torpor and on an available food supply.
