Devil tenrec (SciiFii)

The devil tenrec (Tandraka ferox), also known as the Malagasy devil and the Madagascar devil, is a species of tenrec, most closely related to the common tenrec (Tenrec ecaudatus), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. The devil tenrec is an opportunistic badger-sized carnivorous scavenger found all over the island. Adults are very aggressive, specially when they are feeding on carcasses, engaging in noisy fights like Tasmanian devils of mainland Australia and Tasmania. The devil tenrec is a solitary animal in most of its life because of it, but this species often congregates during the breeding seasons in order to mate. The conservation status of the devil tenrec is Near Threatened due to some habitat loss and historic poaching and persecution through superstitions, however, thanks to the conservationists, the devil tenrecs are a protected species.
