An elephant shrew is like a tiny, super-sneaky, mouse-sized creature with a trunk that looks like it’s borrowed from a baby elephant. It's got long legs for hopping around its home like a miniature kangaroo but still somehow looks like it's always late to a party. Its big ears could probably pick up whispers from miles away, and its twitchy little nose is always sniffing out snacks. Think of it as a quirky, furry hybrid between an elephant and a shrew that’s decided to live in the underbrush instead of going for a stroll down a runway.
