I only ever got to see elephant shrew of a night and even then they were too quick to get photos. This is a really nice shot! :) Check out that nose!

That's a great shot George! Its nice to see a little critter, especially one that's different from our normal fare.

A touch more DOF for the tail would have been nice.

I only ever saw the tracks in the dust of these guys.

Great shot George.
