I realize now that I didn't actually know how cute an elephant shrew was in full, since I was always too preoccupied taking a closer look at that snout!
Fun fact the elephant shrews are actually closer relatives to true elephants than to true shrews. They are members of Afrotheria, an order that includes a lot of mammals that evolved in Africa before the continent connected to Asia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrotheria
Very nice. I love this animal. My favourite type of shrew. Beautiful colors, elegant shape. Look at how thin the legs are and how the snout quivers. They've got some gnarly looking claws as well and such a beautiful dark eye.
They aren't shrews! Ironically they are in the same superorder as elephants, Afrotheria, so they are "more elephant" than "more shrew" on the tree of life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrotheria
I fucking love the elephant shrew! It's so weird looking and cute and pretty and weird and I just can't get enough! I swear if these things ever go extinct, i'm raiding area 51 and nuking the human race. I just ugh i just can't!
Convergent evolution, son! Closer common ancestor to elephants, yet more similar morphology to mammals like shrews that occupy a similar niche. Just like how sharks and dolphins look similar and have similar adaptations to their shared environment, but dolphins are more closely related to giraffes than to sharks.
It’s actually a close relative of the elephant and not a shrew at all which is crazy considering it’s size. But then again there are monkeys that can fit in the palms of our hand, nature is truly amazing
i really like this elephant shrewi like the way that its snout, it is looking for things in the rock. what are you finding buddy? good boy! whos a good boy? it is so giant, and i hear its more elephant than shrew. they should call it the elehant shrew the way it kind of looks like if an elephant was a shrew! i love this animal very much im very happy what music do you think it listens to with those big ears and boy the things it must smell with its long ears and nose also. i love you elephantshrew keep sniffing every day you sniff every day. goodnight fellow snoutfreaks keeo on sniffing every day you sniff. GIANT ELEPHANT SHREWS!

@@stewartgames6697 How strange! I suppose looks can be deceiving.
*SNOOT*

Does this evolve into an anteater if I level it up?
No. That's South America. This levels up to an actual elephant.
🤣🤣🤣
i refuse to refer to this by any other name than "fluffy banana with twig feet and blueberry eyes"

Очень необычное и симпатичное животное, слоник в шубке...❤😊

To what ant, is that shrew either giant or an elephant?
This is not criticism.

His little snoot!

How do you feed them? Seems to be finding something to eat with its nose in the pebbles.
love that guy
Hey! Who farted under that pebble?!
my new fave animal
shoutout to all my fellow snoutfreaks ❤
It looks much smaller than an Elephant to me.
It’s actually a close relative of the elephant and not a shrew at all which is crazy considering it’s size.
But then again there are monkeys that can fit in the palms of our hand, nature is truly amazing
Elephants are afraid of mice because an elephant never forgets, it knows it might be stepping on its great great grandparent, and that's not cool.
Милашечка носатенькая😊🥰🤗
bro is a living claymation
Snorf snorf
Roses are red
I have a boot
Take a minute of your time
*To check that dood's snoot*
this animal IS very great，it is smart
He looks like he wants to tell me diversity is our strength and fight forever wars for our greatest ally.
Their feet look more like chickens feet. Lol 🐓
It's like that nose has a mind of its own.

And here we see the ancestor of the Snuffleupagus
Omg soooo cuteeeeee ❤
I never seen a elephant shrew so big in my life kind of cool though
Noisy little guy
That snout tho....
Its nose is like those red inflatable guys at stores
Awwwww
i know that is a cringe question, but would it be possibel to house them? As pets? like in a big garden?
Lovely.
i like this animal
(Let's be honest they are still pretty small)
Look at its wiggly nooooooose!
Those tiny feets omg

I'm going to zoom in on a gnat and call it GIANT to clickbait a video for views.
Relaxin' nd eatin' nd have a really great time
funny little creature
this makes me breathe heavily
They are so cute!!
what a extraordinary cute animal hope the predator dont get them. so cute. the insects need to be taken cared of thats good. think so cute and doing such a great job.
looks like a tiny elephant
How are elphany shrews closer to elephants than shrews? They are pretty much shrews with long noses!
Look at their molars,also shrews are plantigrades like us (they stand on all their foot) and elephant shrews are digitardigrade like dogs
that's just the way it is
dat nose! eep! so cute
It's a Giant elephant shrew
Insectivorous? We need them in West Philly.
Şu burunsuya bi yakından bak!
