Most elephant shrew species were first described in the 1800s by scientists who classified them as shrews because of obvious physical similarities.
Can you see a shrew? Of course you can, so they have to be multicellular.
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.
An elephant shrew typically eats insects, fruits, and seeds, consuming around 70-100% of its body weight in food each day. They have high metabolisms which require them to eat frequently to maintain energy levels.
An elephant shrew is a small insect-eating mammal that is part of the food chain as a primary consumer. It primarily feeds on insects like ants, termites, spiders, and beetles. It is preyed upon by a variety of predators, including birds of prey, snakes, and small carnivorous mammals.
