Microscopic research
Microscopic examination allows us to study the structure and pigment of pens. and specifically how they differ by species. With this new knowledge, we can gain a deeper understanding of the differences between the types of hedgehogs and tenrecs. This can make identification easier when rescued animals are found, but we can also gain more knowledge about the functionality of the spines, hairs and semi-hairs.
