African crested rat

Imbaraga z'uburozi
Uruhu rwayo rufite uburozi. Ni bibi kuyikoraho, kuyirigata cyangwa kuyirya.
Uburozi bwayo bukora iki?
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
Iteje akaga kangana iki ku bantu?
Akaga ku bantu: IkomeyeNiba hari uwayikozeho cyangwa uwayiriye, ajye kwa muganga. Abapfa ni bake cyane.Its poison is a risk to predators that try to bite it. The rat itself is not harmed by the toxins it stores.1
Ikora iki iyo ifite ubwoba?
When threatened or excited, the mane stands up and the glandular strip parts, exposing the skin that carries the poison.1

Ibintu by'ukuri
It is the world's only known poisonous rodent.1
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
Its stomach has five anatomically distinct sections, a feature found in very few rodents.1
The skull is covered with small bony projections that give it a pebbled look.1
Its large size may allow microbes in its foregut to break down cellulose from plants by fermentation.1
Usenya ibinyoma
Ikinyoma: The maned rat was believed to be solitary.
Ukuri: 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
