## Species Aligned With Math Rock & Midwest Emo

- [Black-Tailed Jackrabbit](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/black-tailed-jackrabbit/) (*Lepus californicus*)
  - **Musical Match**: tricot, "potage"
  - **Biological Rationale**: At a moderate run, a black-tailed jackrabbit makes every fourth or fifth leap an exceptionally high one to look for predators. tricot's math rock keeps changing its count mid-song, so the big accent never lands where the last bar led you to expect it.
  - **Superpower**: Zigzags at up to 40 miles per hour, and at a moderate run makes every fourth or fifth leap a high one to look for predators
- [Chambered Nautilus](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/chambered-nautilus/) (*Nautilus pompilius*)
  - **Musical Match**: Chon, "Bubble Dream"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Complex guitar tapping and interlocking math riffs, layered like a shell of over 30 chambers that a gas-releasing siphuncle keeps buoyant.
  - **Superpower**: A chambered shell with a gas-releasing buoyancy tube called the siphuncle, plus more than 90 suckerless tentacles and a pair of rhinophores that track an odor plume to its source
- [European Harvestman](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/european-harvestman/) (*Phalangium opilio*)
  - **Musical Match**: American Football, "Never Meant"
  - **Biological Rationale**: In a lab colony, a female harvestman lays one egg clutch about every three days, a steady cycle that repeats without a break. Never Meant runs on two guitars picking thin interlocking lines that loop over a small, tight rhythm section.
  - **Superpower**: In a lab colony, a female lays a typical clutch of about 250 eggs roughly every three days
- [European Hedgehog](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/european-hedgehog/) (*Erinaceus europaeus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Tiny Moving Parts, "Always Focused"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Twinkling finger-tapped clean guitars and introspective nostalgic lyrics, for a hedgehog that curls into a ball as the muscles linked to each of its roughly 6,000 spines contract together, standing every one on end.
  - **Superpower**: A sheet of muscle across the back, the panniculus carnosus, contracts to curl the body into a ball while the muscles linked to each spine contract too, leaving every spine standing on end.
- [Lowland Streaked Tenrec](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/lowland-streaked-tenrec/) (*Hemicentetes semispinosus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Battles, "Atlas"
  - **Biological Rationale**: A streaked tenrec makes its sound mechanically: it rubs the tips of the specialized quills on its back together rapidly to produce high-frequency sounds. Atlas is built from moving parts too, with clattering mechanical beats, buzzing synthesizer arpeggios and a hyperactive rhythmic bounce.
  - **Superpower**: A stridulation organ of 7 to 16 specialized quills on its back that make high-frequency sound when rubbed together.
- [Naked Mole-Rat](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/naked-mole-rat/) (*Heterocephalus glaber*)
  - **Musical Match**: Delta Sleep, "The Detail"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Delta Sleep's interlocking, finger-tapped guitar lines move like the mole-rat's front teeth, which work independently, spreading apart and closing like a pair of chopsticks.
  - **Superpower**: High-molecular-mass hyaluronan that triggers early contact inhibition, stopping cell division at a much lower density than in mouse cells
