The Cuban solenodon is a small, furry, shrew-like mammal that lives only in the mountain forests of eastern Cuba. It is one of the few mammals that can inject venom, which it uses to catch its prey. It is endangered and was once thought to be extinct.1

Leef in

Mountainous forests of eastern Cuba, in the Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa range (Holguín, Guantánamo and Santiago de Cuba provinces)1

Noord-Amerika

Tuis

It lives in mountainous forests and digs burrows, living underground. It is nocturnal and travels at night along the forest floor, so people rarely see it. Subfossil evidence shows it once lived across the whole island.1

Lengte

41 cm tot 56 cm (1,3 ft tot 1,8 ft)1

Gewig

680 g (1,5 lb)1

Topspoed

omtrent 8 km/h (5 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It searches the forest floor litter at night for insects, worms, fungi, roots and dead animals. It also climbs well to eat fruit, berries, buds and leaves, and it hunts small animals using venom from glands in its lower jaw.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Dark brown to black hair1
Small eyes and an extremely elongated snout1
Looks like a large brown rat, with a long, naked, scaly tail1
Measures 41–56 cm from nose to tail tip1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is sometimes compared to a shrew, but it most closely resembles the tenrecs of Madagascar.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom comes from modified salivary glands in the lower jaw, so it is a venomous bite. The venom is strong enough to kill lizards, other small reptiles, frogs, small birds and rodents. Solenodons do not appear to be immune to the venom of their own kind, and cage mates have been reported dying after fights.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

As dit byt

Was die wond goed en kry mediese hulp.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

The solenodons are one of the few groups of mammals that are venomous.1

It was declared extinct in 1970, but was found again in 1974.1

The Cuban solenodon found in 2003 was named Alejandrito. It was healthy, and it was released back into the wild after two days of scientific study.1

Males mate with several females, but they do not help raise the young. Males and females only meet to mate.1

Mite-breker

Mite: The Cuban solenodon is extinct.

Waarheid: It is not extinct. It was once thought to be extinct because it is so rare and hard to see, but it survives today and is listed as endangered.1
