Behold the black and rufous elephant shrew (Rhynchocyon petersi)! Despite its diminutive size, this critter is more closely related to elephants than it is to shrews. It’s also distantly related to manatees, dugongs, and hyraxes. It uses its long snout to scoop up worms, ants, termites, roots, berries, and shoots to eat. To move around its territory, this fast-moving mammal creates networks of foraging trails, which also serve as escape routes from predators.

they say there's a mossy stump at the edge of the meadow that if you approach quietly enough and at the right time you might just catch a glimpse of the shrews' daily ritual of getting shitty on fermented acorns and gossiping about the other woodland critters
