Mutation March Day 9 is Elephant Shrew!

[gior22art]

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)

Pangolins always look so deeply dorky and demure... I can only assume that means they're all secret super heroes.

Look at that nose!!! 😍 To get a photograph of these mammals is not easy at all... Round-eared Elephant Shrews inhabit the more arid regions of the South, Western and Northern Cape. They forage on insects as well as roots and tubers - and they have been documented feeding on fallen berries as well. They are solitary animals, believed to be monogamous. They live in burrows that they expropriate from other rodents, reuse or dig themselves. Macroscelides proboscideus, somewhere dry, Western Cape, South Africa. #canon #canonmacro #macro #ishootwithorms #bionerds #biodiversity #planning #surveys #support #ecoexploration #mammal #mammals #mammalsofinstagram #shrew #shrews #shrewsofinstagram #elephantshrew #Macroscelidesproboscideus #nature #wildlife #arid #cute #longnose (at South Africa)
