The short-eared elephant shrew, or sengi, is a small, insect-eating mammal with a long, flexible snout perfect for sniffing out prey. Despite the name, it’s not actually a shrew—in fact, it’s more closely related to elephants, aardvarks, and manatees! These speedy little creatures can dash up to 18 miles per hour, making them masters of escape. Fun Fact: Short-eared elephant shrews create a network of tiny trails through grass and shrubs, like their own personal highway system, helping them zip

THE SHORT-TAILED SHREW UNDER MY DECK. I have been observing this shrew for the past few months with a remote camera.
