afrotheria

Another poll in a series for zoochatters to vote for one of two EDGE mammal species. This time decidedly of an elephantine theme and little vs large, the golden rumped sengi / elephant shrew and the Asiatic elephant. Despite the drastic size difference both are mammals within the superorder...

I really like both. I really like the fearlessness of humans and the cuteness quokkas have. One of my pet guinea pigs reminds me of one. Hyraxes, the furry elephant relatives, are adorbs and are essentially Africa's answer to woodchucks. Their tusks are really intriguing.
