What is an "elephant shrew"?
The elephant shrew, also known as sengi, is a small insectivorous mammal found in Africa with a unique body shape resembling that of an elephant's trunk. Despite its name, the elephant shrew is not closely related to elephants or shrews, but is a distinct group of mammals known for their long, mobile noses, slender bodies, and excellent agility. They are known for their remarkable speed and agility, using their elongated snouts to search for insects and other small prey in the undergrowth of their habitats.
