Bronzethes

Bronzethes is a genus of small to medium-sized, long-snouted, herbivorous mammals native to Africa. The genus includes two species: Bronzethes aequatorialis and Bronzethes rubescens. Both species are characterized by their distinctive, elongated snouts and robust bodies, which are well-adapted for grazing on tough vegetation.

Bronzethes aequatorialis, also known as the equatorial bronzethes, is found in the equatorial forests of Central Africa. It has a reddish-brown fur and a long, pointed snout. This species is known for its ability to climb trees and is often seen foraging in the canopy.

Bronzethes rubescens, or the red bronzethes, is found in the savannas and woodlands of East Africa. It has a reddish-brown to grayish-brown fur and a shorter, broader snout than B. aequatorialis. This species is primarily terrestrial and spends most of its time on the ground.

Both species are threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation and agricultural expansion. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and ensure the survival of these unique mammals.
