VOTE LOWLAND STREAKED TENREC FOR THE @WEIRDANIMAL-TOURNAMENT

more closely related to elephants and manatees than to shrews or rodents. yep, you heard that right. 

only found in madagascar, which automatically gives it weirdness points

has specialized quills on its back that rub together to make high-pitched noises. no other mammal makes sound like this, but its how crickets, grasshoppers, and cicadas sing. why is this the only mammal that makes noises like an insect? its from madagascar, what do you expect

the rest of its quills are more porcupine then hedgehog - they will detach and get stuck in predators! 

mostly eats earthworms, of all things. somehow is not the only mammal on madagascar that specializes in eating earthworms (check out the falanouc)

tenrecs in general are awesome and super underrated! they drifted over to madagascar from africa several dozen million years ago and are the only little-insectivore-mammals found in madagascar. there are little tree climbers with prehensile tails, basically moles, mini-otters, mini-otters but still in africa for some reason, and multiple types of “basically a hedgehog,” both with and without rolling-up-into-a-ball behavior and with either hedgehog-like or porcupine-like spines. all of them are adorable and i will throw hands with anyone who says otherwise

i also found this on wikipedia:

please please please vote for my precious, she is too pure for this world. there are a lot of truly excellent little insectivorous mammals in the world, but these guys are my favorite.

[yu-gi-oh-slavia]

you're a funny looking guy mr eastern falanouc i love you

[roll-a-troll]

You're Melsic Xicali. You're lime. You masquerade as Rust; Arittanius is okay enough to hide as. At 25 sweeps, you've made a life for yourself. Once upon a time the idea of Heir called to you. You're Fond Of Everyone, you use they/them. Fuck it, you ball. Your falanouc ma raised you poorly, you don't begrude the creature, though. Would you trade your life for anything else? Hardly much of a life this is to begin with. You wish you weren't the only lime you knew. When you had the time, you did cross-stitch, and you were shitty, and it kept the time moving.. You've been training very hard at the razor, it's gonna pay off any day now. You use the handle abnormalAndroid on trollian. When you type, you use 0's where your O's should be, just like your friends. via roll-a-troll https://ift.tt/oS7qYrK, do as you please

[gadgetpaw]

someone has probably thought of it before but i am definitely thinking about a warrior cat plot where, one way or another, a cat adjacent animal gets to be a part of a clan somehow (cat adjacent as in: a binturong, fossa, civet, falanouc, mongoose etc)

[tigirl-and-co]
