Difference between Elephant and Elephant shrew

Elephant vs. Elephant shrew

Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Elephant shrews, also called jumping shrews or sengis, are small insectivorous mammals native to Africa, belonging to the family Macroscelididae, in the order Macroscelidea. Their traditional common English name "elephant shrew" comes from a fancied resemblance between their long noses and the trunk of an elephant, and their superficial similarity with shrews (family Soricidae) in the order Eulipotyphla.
