Lesser Tenrec
(Echinops telfari)
Madagascar – "Prickles" is a tiny 4-inch long spine-covered girl who spends her Madagascar nights hunting for bugs and hiding from predators. No, she can't throw her spines, they are only for show. She sleeps peacefully through the colder months, so ask first to see if she is available. School-age audiences, ages 6 years and up.
