Hero Shrew
(Scutisorex somereni)

Found in the rainforests of Central Africa, the Hero Shrew is an unremarkable looking small mammal that hides a remarkable secret beneath its fur. Its spine is unlike that of any other mammal on Earth — interlocking with a complex system of bony projections so robust that a fully grown adult human can reportedly stand on it without causing the animal harm!
