The Lowland streaked tenrec, also known as Hemicentetes semispinosus, is a fascinating creature that roams the forest floor of Masoala National Park in north-east Madagascar. This nocturnal mammal comes to life at night, showcasing its unique features and behavior. With its spiky appearance and tailless body, the tenrec stands out among other animals in the park. Its sharp teeth and wide gape are revealed when it opens its mouth, giving it an intimidating look. A Tenrec photographed at London Zoo in 1929 captures this moment perfectly. The Common Tenrec is another species worth mentioning. An exquisite colored engraving showcases its beauty and intricate details. These engravings were created between 1833-39, capturing the essence of this remarkable creature. In contrast to the Common Tenrec's vibrant depiction, a black-and-white photo from London Zoo in 1929 portrays a different side of these creatures' existence. Despite lacking color, this image still manages to capture their charm and allure. Another intriguing member of the tenrec family is the Euroean Hedgehog depicted in a lithograph from 1860. Although not directly related to tenrecs, hedgehogs share some similarities with them - both have spines for protection against predators. Lastly, we cannot forget about the Tailless Tenrec (Tenrec ecaudatus). Colored engravings highlight its distinct features while showcasing its coexistence with lowland habitats.
