African Pygmy Hedgehog

Tenrec

African Pygmy Hedgehog
or Tenrec

"Niache"
(Nee-ah-chee)

A Kiswahili phrase, that means "leave me alone". He and two other hedgehogs, (all former pets), call
Animal Edutainment home.

We also have a Tenrec which is a cousin of the hedgehog from Madagascar that can climb trees.
