Tenrecs Will Not Stay In Their Lane

The video explores convergent evolution, focusing on tenrecs, a diverse group of mammals endemic to Madagascar. It discusses their unique characteristics, such as cloacas and stridulation, and their evolutionary journey to Madagascar. The video also highlights Madagascar's unique ecosystem and the concept of ecological niches, explaining how tenrecs adapted to fill various roles. Convergent evolution is explained as a process where similar environmental pressures lead to similar adaptations in different species.

What is the significance of the cloaca in Tenricks and other mammals?

Explain the concept of ecological niches and how Tenricks fit into this idea.

Discuss the phenomenon of stridulation in the lowland St. Tenric and its implications.
