elephant shrews look like elephants but in shrew size.
they use it for digging.
A group of shrews is called N.O.W.
Like all animals they are heterotrophic.
Male Elephants are called Bulls and Female Elephants are called cows.
Scientists have learned that the elephant shrew, despite its name, is more closely related to elephants and sea cows than to true shrews, based on DNA evidence. Genetic analysis has revealed distinct evolutionary lineages, placing elephant shrews in a clade called Afrotheria, which includes various mammals native to Africa. This insight has reshaped our understanding of mammalian evolution and biodiversity, highlighting the complex relationships between different species. Such findings underscore the importance of molecular data in clarifying phylogenetic relationships that traditional morphology alone could not resolve.

No they do not.

Pygmy elephants are much, much larger than elephant shrews.
Most of the golden rumped elephant shrews live in Kenya. They eat many invertebrates, like beetles, termites, and earthworms.
The exact population of elephant shrews is difficult to determine, as they are elusive and inhabit diverse environments across Africa. There are several species of elephant shrews, some of which are more endangered than others. Conservation efforts are ongoing, but habitat loss and poaching pose significant threats to their populations. Overall, while specific numbers are unclear, many species of elephant shrews are considered vulnerable or endangered.
A group of shrews is called N.O.W.
they live in underground burrows.
Because they are relatively unchanged evolutionarily from the ancient Elephant Shrews
Like all animals they are heterotrophic.
