Hispaniolan Solenodon
The Hispaniolan solenodon also known as the Haitian Solenodon or agouta is a strange looking shrew-like creature with a long snout and specialized teeth capable of delivering venom.
These creatures was unknown to science for so long because it is nocturnal, and they were not really numerous. They stay on burrows, hollowed-out logs or caves during daylight hours.
Hispaniolan solenodons eat a wide variety of animals, like arthropods, worms, snails and small reptiles; they may also feed on roots, fruits and foliage. As of 2007, they were identified as one of the top ten "focal species" by the EDGE species project.
