The African crested rat is a large, nocturnal rodent with long hair and a bushy tail. It looks a little like a porcupine. It lives in East Africa, where it is the world's only known poisonous rodent, coating itself in plant toxins to keep predators away.1

In the wild it eats mostly leaves, fruit and other plant material. In captivity it has also been known to eat meat, cereals, root vegetables and insects. It sits on its haunches and uses its forepaws to bring food to its mouth.1

Doole tooke ɓanndu

Tooke e nguru mum

Nguru mum ina jogii tooke. Ina bonna so meemaama, lakkaama walla ñaamaama.

Hol ko tooke ɓanndu mum waɗata?

This animal is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting to inject poison. It smears poison from the bark of the poison arrow tree onto the hairs of its glandular skin patch. A predator that bites it can be sickened or even killed by this poison.1

Hol no bone mum heewiri e yimɓe?

Bone e yimɓe: Ina tiiɗiSo neɗɗo meemii ngal walla ñaamii ngal, yahu e doktoor. Maayde ina famɗi sanne.

Its poison is a risk to predators that try to bite it. The rat itself is not harmed by the toxins it stores.1

Hol ko ngal waɗata so ina hula?

When threatened or excited, the mane stands up and the glandular strip parts, exposing the skin that carries the poison.1

Humpito

1

It is the world's only known poisonous rodent.1

2

It is the only rodent known to use and store toxins from a different species in nature to protect itself, and it suffers no known harm from them.1

3

Its stomach has five anatomically distinct sections, a feature found in very few rodents.1

4

The skull is covered with small bony projections that give it a pebbled look.1

5

Its large size may allow microbes in its foregut to break down cellulose from plants by fermentation.1

Feññinoowo fenaande

Fenaande: The maned rat was believed to be solitary.

Goonga: It is now known to be somewhat sociable. Several animals are found in the same territory, and they purr and groom one another, so they may form family groups of a male, a female and their young.1
