An elephant shrew sticks it tongue out
Hier sind wohl Maus und Elefant in einem Individuum vereint, oder?
*
Macroscélide à oreilles courtes / Short-eared elephant shrew / Kurzohr-Elefantenspitzmaus or Kurzohrrüsselspringer
*
Neuere genetische Forschung hat ergeben, dass sie sehr eng mit dem Elefanten verwandt sind - beide sie gehören der Familie der Afrotheria an, zu denen u.a. noch die Seekühe und die Schliefer zählen.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrotheria
Wikipedia about these very nice and small animals: Elephant shrews, or jumping shrews, are small insectivorous mammals native to Africa, belonging to the family Macroscelididae, in the order Macroscelidea, whose traditional common English name comes from a fancied resemblance between their long noses and the trunk of an elephant, and an assumed relationship with the shrews (family Soricidae) in the order Insectivora.
