Sengis are awesome animals
Elephant Shrews are bigger than an ordinary kind of mouse, but with that tapered nose - you know, long nose = elephant trunk - they look just so adorable
This kind is one of the prettiest we've see far; if you take a good look, you see he has this very fancy light eye-liner that gives him a sophisticated look
