EDGE mammal number 46, the remarkable golden-rumped elephant-shrew, is the Species of the Day!
Elephant-shrews (or sengi’s) are so-named because they have long, flexible trunks, and when you see them in action they are actually surprisingly elephantine! Funnily enough, recent studies show that elephant shrews are in fact more closely related to elephants than to the [...]

This bat constitutes the sole known representative of an entire family of bats (Craseonycteridae). [...]
