Sengis feed on insects and other animal and plant material.[…]Young sengis are highly precocial at birth—they will forage 1 day after birth (figure 12.14).

The order formerly known as Insectivora included solenodons; shrews; moles and desmans; hedgehogs and moonrats or gymnures; golden moles, tenrecs, and otter shrews; and sengis or elephant shrews.

Like small African antelopes, sengis spend their life exposed to the elements while relying on disruptive coloration to act as camouflage from the plethora of African predators.
