The Tenrec looks one funny friendly hedgehog with its long snout.
I seldom see hedgehogs, they are indeed quite afraid or shy. Caught one at our tent in Sweden though, got pretty scared of someone rummaging our tent in the middle of the night. It turned out to be a large hedgehog trying to pinch our small garbage thingy. Ghehe. Posted 12 years ago

  A lot of interesting mammals active at night, and most with a terrific sense of smell :) Posted 12 years ago
