The cape elephant shrew

Hi guys, about month ago I visited my friends farm in Worcester near Cape Town South Africa and we drove up this big hill and you would never guess what we saw, luckily I had my camera with me!

The cape elephant shrew, they are very shy insect eating critters, solitary little dwellers, I guess this little guy lives in this rock, and he eats ants and other bugs in the area.

Here he is hiding after he saw us.
