My sweet summer child
the bit they really don’t want ya to know is the bit when the workers armed themselves and fought back
Me when bars and restaurants exist meaningfully again in a couple of years, prerending that I didn’t get officially promoted to bartender just a month before restaurants were ordered to close

What’s black and yellow, covered in quills, and native to Madagascar? Meet the lowland streaked tenrec (Hemicentetes semispinosus). Its quills can be deployed to discourage predators like the Malagasy ring-tailed mongoose and Dumeril boa. The quills aren’t just armor—they can also be used for communication! By rubbing quill tips together, the animal creates a sound that’s thought to signal others. An insectivore, the tenrec uses its pointy snout to go after earthworms and other small soft-bodied invertebrates.
