Stromphasor

Stromphasor is a genus of small, nocturnal, insectivorous mammals native to Africa. The genus includes two species: Stromphasor bitorques and Stromphasor schmidti. Stromphasors are known for their distinctive appearance, with a long, slender body, short legs, and a long, tapering snout. They have a coat that is typically brown or gray, with a lighter underside. Stromphasors are solitary animals, and their diet consists mainly of insects, which they catch using their long, sticky tongue.

Stromphasors are found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and forests. They are most active at night, and spend the day resting in burrows or under rocks. Stromphasors are not well-studied, and much about their biology and behavior remains unknown. However, they are believed to be threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Stromphasors are classified in the order Macroscelidea, which also includes the elephant shrew and the sengi. The genus Stromphasor was first described in 1904 by the German zoologist Wilhelm Peters.
