Sengi
Sengi is a genus of small mammals belonging to the order Macroscelidea, commonly known as sengis or elephant shrews. These insectivores are native to Africa and are characterized by their long, flexible snouts, which they use to forage for insects, seeds, and fruits. Sengis are found in a variety of habitats, including savannas, woodlands, and rocky deserts. They are primarily diurnal and crepuscular, meaning they are most active during the day and at dawn and dusk.
There are currently ten recognized species of sengi, each with distinct geographical ranges and physical characteristics.
The conservation status of sengi species varies, with some facing threats from habitat loss and degradation.
