Harsha, I saw one that had just been posted. Then I searched its scientific name from the Organisms page and found it was the only one. Then I noticed the "related spottings" had two others, each of a different species, which is how I found this one. So as far as I can tell, there are three Tenrecs on PN, each of a different species and from a different spotter.

Where were these creatures hiding before you found them?!! I haven't seen them on noah before. Thanks for the privilege!
