Golden-rumped elephant shrew Rhynchocyon Chrysopygus Threats: They are naturally hunted by snakes, lizards and birds of prey but they suffer major losses from deforestation including fragmented foresting and also getting caught up in traps and then discarded due to the foul taste of their meat making them undesirable as food. Cool facts: they are identified by their golden rump (lower back before the tail) they have long and flexible snouts they walk on their tippy toes otherwise called semi-digitigrade the golden-rumped is the largest of the elephant shrews growing a total of 56cms (20in) they are monogamous and only change partners if one of the pair dies they defend their territory by tail slapping (slapping their tail into the floor repeatedly)

This is a golden-rumped sengi or elephant shrew. It’s the largest species of the elephant shrew family and named for the golden coloured fur on its rump. I love elephant shrews and their little pointy snouts.☺️ . . . . . #goldenrumpedsengi #goldenrumpedelephantshrew #sengi #elephantshrew #endangeredspecies #edgespecies #fibreart #fiberartist #animalsculpture #figurines #arttoys #softsculpture #makersgottamake #makersbiz #wildlifeart #sciart #naturalhistoryart #wildwhimsywoolies https://www.instagram.com/wildwhimsywoolies/p/Bwp0Rp_DHqg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g65posw0fdwz

It’s probably too busy a week for me to participate in #endangeredweek hosted by the very talented @eloise.draws @volkosana @ren.daleen @femmitelli @schrill_art @auvrea_illustration @er_rteat_ but I make time if the animal has rump in its name and I get to draw a big butt #goldenrumpedelephantshrew https://www.instagram.com/p/CIOv9i2nfsq/?igshid=u24pbg2qtfdz
