Finding shelter in a hollow within the baobab is a spiny insectivore
that might make a meal of a hissing cockroach. While many tenrec
species are restricted to foraging on the forest floor, the pygmy
or lesser hedgehog tenrec is an agile climber.
Tenrecs hibernate for 3-5 months alone or in groups, waiting
out the dry season. When the rains come, they emerge in search
of soft-bodied plant and animal material including fruit, worms
and insects.
