[BONUS] A hedgehog doppelgänger and STEVE lighting up the sky: Tiny Show and Tell Us #14

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we cover an aurora-like phenomenon - STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) - and how citizen science led to its discovery and unforgettable name. Then we talk about convergent evolution in tenrecs, a fascinating family of animals endemic to Madagascar. Some look identical to hedgehogs, some are similar to opossums, and others look like moles.
