Well here we are at
another Tuesday afternoon, it is stinking bloody hot again, so this
weeks creature is the African Spiny Mouse they are found in Africa of
course and being a mouse they are small only 8cm long and 18grams
weight.
These small creatures
are remarkable because they can completely regenerate themselves if
damage so imagine the shock another creature which see it as food
when it grabs the mouses back and its skin comes right off in one big
piece allowing the mouse to get away.
Now you would think
that would hurt but it doesn't seem to, in fact the skin has a built
in system that lets the skin tear off easily. It only takes a short
while for the wound to shrink to one-twentieth the size and new skin,
fur and spiny spikes grow over in just days.
Also as an extra way to
stay safe is if they are grabbed by the tail if it is pulled hard it
will just come off. I do not think it regrows though.
They are not great
pets.

Okay that is amazing and gross at the same time - I have never heard of them!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh!
ReplyDeleteInteresting facts but also gross. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a weird talent! I have never heard of this mouse. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why we haven't heard of this species by now. Don't tell Scientists/. .they'll decimate the whole of them to see how they regenerate!
ReplyDeleteLast thing I need is a pet whose tail comes off...
