Not a great photo but spur of the moment on the phone. I'd wager almost no one on nostr has seen one of these in the wild. Bumped into it on my evening stroll. A tenrec.

Is that a Hedgehog or not? It looks like one for sure all over the UK and Europe.

It's a tenrec. An example of convergent evolution as, like you say, it looks like a hedgehog, shrew or porcupine, but is quite unrelated.

Endemic to Madagascar?!! Amazing. They look more like an opposum with quills

Yes, not very big. I'm told they have to be prepared in a very specific way if eaten!

Rather have a dirt sandwich honestly.

Looks opossum in the face.
