Elephant shrews primarily inhabit a variety of environments, including forests, savannas, and grasslands, rather than deserts. They thrive in areas with ample ground cover for foraging and hiding from predators. While some species may be found in arid regions, they typically prefer habitats that provide more vegetation and moisture. Overall, they are not specifically adapted to desert life.
Elephant shrews are named for their long, flexible snouts that resemble the trunk of an elephant. Despite their name, they are not closely related to shrews but are more closely related to elephants, although distantly. The name "elephant shrew" is a reflection of their unique appearance rather than their actual evolutionary relationship.
