WHAT SPECIES OF TENREC IS SURGE?
Most people don't realize that there are several species of tenrec on Madagascar some being mole tenrec or otter tenrec and hedgehog tenrec but the one I found fits surge and it's the lowlands streaked tenrec
This little guy is what surge is and this little guy has two interesting things about him, the first is that he can rub his quills together to make ultrasonic chirps like a cricket which may explain why surge has electric powers like static electricity also probably because this little guy looks like he lost a fight with a light socket XD, second is that all species of tenrec have cloaca like lizards and birds a cloaca is were urine and feces are excreted at once I will say no more on that front.
So tell me your thoughts in the comments did I get it right or do have other ideas on what species of tenrec surge is.

I saw your art blog had head canons for what species of hedgehog the hedgehogs were, do you have that for other characters?
[hedgehog post]
[images from sonic channel!]
It is also possible for these characters to be mixed, however for my own sanity I'm sticking with one type for now.
Tails - Hokkaido Fox
Knuckles - Short-Beaked Echidna (T. a. lawesii)
Rouge - Honduran White Bat
Cream - American Fuzzy Lop
Vector - West African Crocodile
Espio - Jackson's Chameleon
Charmy - Rusty-Patched Bumble Bee
Big - Maine Coon
Blaze - Indo-Persian Cat
Marine - Tanuki (Japanese Racoon Dog) [X]
Mighty - Brazilian Three-Banded Armadillo
Ray - Northern Flying Squirrel
Jet - Levant Sparrowhawk
Wave - Red-Rumped Swallow
Storm - White-Capped Albatross
Tangle - Ring-Tailed Lemur
Whisper - Hudson Bay Wolf
Surge - Lowland Streaked Tenrec
(Kit is already listed as a Fennec)
Sticks - Eurasian Badger
(If you want specific characters, honestly request them this is fun)

The fact that Surge actually had a color pallete that was easy on the eyes and it got changed for her puke green and piss yellow combo will never not annoy me.
So a little fun fact: Evan Stanley said that Surge resembles a lowland streaked tenrec. And look at the thing!
I love this little yellow guy, it looks like a bee <3
But yeah this is probably why they stuck with Surge's yellow clothes, and consequently her yellowish-green color. A shame because I much, much prefer the blueish/purple palette :\
There's also a third palette, more similar to the final one, but Surge's markings are dark green instead of black, and so are some of her clothes:
I think it makes the snot green hurt the eyes a little less? 3 looks pretty good. Yeah, I think that the problem isn't the shade of green, is that stupid black spot that is such an ugly contrast. Add the yellow of the clothes and bleh.
Bonus: :)
(yes, there are 4 versions of the "Surge beats the shit out of Sonic" concept sketches: final spines-final palette, beta spines-final palette, final spines-beta palette, beta spines-beta palette. There are a lot of alt. sketckes with this palette. Seems like the blue/purple scheme was dropped fairly quickly :( )
Actually you know what? Since I'm sharing concept art, here's my absolute favorite piece:
she's so cute <3
(i won't talk about kit tho)

is surge a greater hedgehog tenrec or a lesser hedgehog tenrec? or is she a completely different sort of tenrec like the highland streaked tenrec? or just general non specified tenrec
She doesn't have an exact type of tenrec called out in canon, but we were looking more at Lowland Streaked Tenrecs. They've got the black face-mask and the flippy-up spikes.
