Description

When: July 13, 2019

Where: Kölner Zoo Köln/ Cologne, Germany

We always visit when these Sengis have had babies, but they grow up so fast we always miss the actual baby size... Still, they are so cute and special to see, we don't mind if they're adult-size

Species: Rufous Elephant Shrew or Rufous Sengi (Rosse olifantspitsmuis)

Latin name: Elephantulus Rufescens

Originates from Eastern Africa.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…Couple of Rufous Elephant Shrews will defend their territory by ruffling up their hind legs and chasing of intruders.

…An Elephant Shrew is called a “Rüsselspringer” in German.
