A rat king is a collection of rats or mice whose tails are intertwined and bound together in some way.

Tenrecs are a very diverse group; as a result of adaptive radiation and exhibit convergent evolution, [3] some resemble hedgehogs, shrews, opossums, rats, and mice. They occupy aquatic, arboreal, terrestrial, and fossorial environments. Some of these species, including the greater hedgehog tenrec, can be found in the Madagascar dry deciduous ...
