Walpurgisnacht raccoon: The one who takes everything in its hands pays a personal visit

It was about an hour after midnight, and I groped for my glasses on the bedside table. I went to the window to look. A raccoon stared back at me.

This is the Lowland Streaked Tenrec.

Native to the wondrous island of Madagascar, this little cutie jumps and, with aid of their sensory hair, they locate their worms and other invertebrae to snack on.

They are the only mammal known to use stridulation for making sound! No squeaks or shouts from this little floof; they clued in to their insect homies and borrowed some evolutionary tricks.

Weighing in at around 200g, and approximately 14cm in length (which is perfectly acceptable, fellas), this friend-shaped muncher will scare any bug that crosses its path. And if anything scares it, spiky quills will make themselves known!

After being motivated by some toots by @keeya, I went to the Wildpark Poing again, and this time with a camera.
As is tradition for my excursions, I have quite a few silly pictures, which I am gonna put here first, the rest of the nice ones follows later™ (maybe tomorrow), since I am still on the train home.

Let us begin with: "Smile!". (1/4)

#Animals #Photography #Wolf

A photo of a gray wolf lying on the forest floor looking at the camera with an expression that seems to resemble a toothy grin/smile. In fact, it was either the end of a tiny yawn or trying to clean a bit out of its teeth, which I captured in just the right moment. Otherwise, the wolf is lying there in a pretty cute way as well, hind legs hidden below the body, front legs close together in front of it.
