This animal looks just like a Pokémon

Meet the Lowland streaked tenrec. This animal resembles both a hedgehog and a shrew. But its most notable feature is its bright yellow and black colored quills.

These unusual creatures only exist in Madagascar. Streaked tenrecs communicate using high-pitch calls by vibrating their quills together.

Their sounds are at such a high frequency, that it cannot be heard by the human ear.

But be careful if they feel threatened, tenrecs will thrust their sharp spines into their predators

So don't mess with this small one.
