I have heard of a shrewmouse before but not this animal...I was surprised to read in the Wikipedia info that while superficially similar to rodents, they are more closely related to elephants and manatees...anyhow, a very cute animal and a nice capture of this one.

Raj, like Bob and Tick, I've never heard this name before.
Have check-out your link and has read the interesting facts about this animal. One is never too old to learn new things, ☺ .

Thanks for this very fine accompanying capture. Very well taken!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

A new one for me Raj. I don't think he had seen anything like you either, judging from his expression.
Good capture.
