A new species of mammal has been discovered in the mountains of
Tanzania, scientists report.
The bizarre-looking creature, dubbed Rhynochocyon udzungwensis, is a
type of giant elephant shrew, or sengi.
The cat-sized animal, which is reported in the Journal of Zoology, looks
like a cross between a miniature antelope and a small anteater.
It has a grey face, a long, flexible snout, a bulky, amber body, a
jet-black rump and it stands on spindly legs.
