Tenrecs of Madagascar

Madagascar is home to the weird
strange inhabitants found nowhere else
on this planet or thousands of others
tenrecs scatter themselves among the vegetation

They have a reputation for being striped or plain
some might have spots or ruffles
Tenrecs are diverse, some looking like hedgehogs
others evolving with different traits

they evolve into strange looking creatures
based on their habits and habitats
I see something scurry away under a vine
It may have been a tenrec
