Animal of the week.
The aquatic tenrec—and all tenrecs for that matter—belong to a bizarre group of animals called the Afrotheria. This group includes everything from elephants to sea cows and aardvarks to hyraxes. It is no wonder then that it took genetic evidence for researchers to finally piece this group together. For their part the thirty species of tenrec are most closely related to elephant shrews and golden moles, all of which belong to Afrotheria. But the aquatic tenrec is even unique among tenrecs, since it has wholly adapted to life in the water.
