Long-eared Elephant Shrew Skull - The long-eared elephant shrew is neither a shrew nor an elephant, but instead, belongs to the order Macroscelidae. The 15 species of long-eared elephant shrew get their name from their elongated snout and shrew-like size and appearance. Native to Africa, long-eared elephant shrews are mostly insectivorous, feeding on ants, termites and beetles. This diurnal species often sunbathes, a trait that daytime predators readily make use of.
