Elephant shrews 
are more closely related to 
Elephants than shrews
Their brains are very big too

Elephant shrews 
They can really move
18 miles an hour
One of the worlds fastest 
Small mammals

Elephant shrews 
Live monogamously as two 
but they hate each other
They sleep in separate nests
Elephant shrews 
Menstruate like humans do
So once a month they come together
And they do what animals do

They vary in size from 10 to 30 centimeters
50 to 500 grams
They gestate 45 to 60 days
2 to 4 year life span
Oh they eat insects 
Spiders, centipedes, millipedes and earthworms too
They’ve all got that prehensile snout
That’s the elephant shrew
