Aquatic tenrecs have partial webbing between toes and are excellent swimmers. The majority of their diet comes from the rivers and streams--small fish, crustaceans, etc. With this type of diet, they don't have to compete with the more terrestrial tenrecs.
Cool spotting, Bev. Why is it called aquatic?
