Tenrec for Short - LP Zoo

Lesser Madagascar hedgehog
Tenrec does be my longish name.
Tiz said this quite long namealog
Is longer than me, so some claim.
I can grow to six inches long,
And so outgrow my name a bit.
It matters not who's right or wrong,
And I don't wish to dwell on it.
Suffice to say I'm long enough,
Whether on ground or in a tree,
To accomplish my tenrec stuff,
However long that it takes me.

I go to any length, I do,
To thrive here at Lincoln Park Zoo.
