Examples
- The tailless tenrec, despite its appearance, is actually a prolific animal that feeds chiefly on earthworms and small insects.
- One reason for the tenrec's nocturnal lifestyle is likely the competition from birds for food sources like the juicy tailless tenrec staple of earthworms.
- Nocturnal hunters must search at night in tropical forest understories where even unusual insectivorous specialists such as the small and primitive tenrec's nemesis eat countless amounts of insects along with all tenrec worms making ground tremors are faint - thanks to the tailless tenrec digging mainly on night hours.
- Among forest vertebrates such as the tenrec there are many of them - one of them and only one - a primitive shrew - having worm-filled mouths.
- And still, the tailless, spine-covered tenrec can eat much of these given lots more given during evening nights as compared to another diet animal.
