TENRECINAE Gray, 1821 View in CoL

Two of the five species of spine-bearing tenrecs were found amongst the subfossil remains in the Children’s Cave. Both occurred in the Upper Stratum and represented a considerably smaller proportion of the remains in comparison with the smaller Oryzorictinae . They are Setifer setosus (Schreber, 1778) (NR = 7 MNI = 4) and Tenrec ecaudatus (Schreber, 1778) (NR = 10 MNI = 3). Both species are listed as of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List ( Stephenson et al. 2016).
