If all crustaceans “want” to look like crabs, then tenrecs “want” to look like basically any other small mammal. These weird little guys are endemic to Madagascar - they’re native to nowhere else on Earth.

Something to keep in mind is that the rafting hypothesis is rarely alluding to a clump of leaves on a log carrying one pregnant rodent to an island where it's rescued by washing up on the beach. Big enough rivers actually produce floating islands. Interlocked root systems of semi aquatic plants sprawl out into shallow water. There's a build of sediment that gets trapped in these roots, and when conditions are right these mostly vegetation peninsulas can loose their anchoring, break off and float down river. In Columbia on the Megdalena river some German researchers found one such island slowly drifting down river. It was 80 meters in diameter, had mature tree growing on it and a troop of howler monkeys. These islands can sometimes work their way down river without being permanently caught on a bank, and make it out to the ocean. They are basically giant lily pads. Tide, currents, and winds can carry them far enough to run into and island beach if they don't capsize first. Which can bring dozens of new species to an island. Some of which may see their island populations go extinct. Some won't even make it but die on the way. But a few might adapt and find an open niche or take one over.

I'm just thinking of that one floating bunch of vegetation and whatnot that floats toward that bridge every year and a dozen people volunteer wirh boats to move the island back so it doesn't crash into the bridge. It's in the US. In Maine, I think. That was my first thought with this, haha. Your explanation makes a lot of sense, though.

I would call that normal mammal radiation, tho it is not just affecting mammals. Predators tend to have converging evolution (claws, bone structure, muscle distribution that you will find across innumerable examples same for the thing below). Herbivores tend to have converging evolution. The tenric is just one very successful adorable little critter that due to it's success in so many niches, was able to "radiate" into all these forms or to say it differently, converged in adaptions to those niches.
