Cape elephant shrew
The Cape elephant shrew, Cape rock elephant shrew, or Cape sengi is a species of elephant shrew in the family Macroscelididae. It is endemic to South Africa. Its natural habitat is rocky areas. E. edwardii has been observed to be a non-flying mammalian pollinator of the Pagoda Lily. The Cape elephant shrew uses its long slender tongue to feed on the Pagoda lily's nectar while getting the lily's pollen on its long nose. The Cape elephant shrew is not closely related to other species of shrews and to rodents such as mice.
