Western Rock Sengi
The western rock sengi or western rock elephant shrew (Elephantulus rupestris) is a species of small mammal in the sengi family (Macroscelididae). It is found in Namibia, South Africa, and possibly Angola and Botswana. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and rocky areas. Smaller members of western rock sengi possess functional brown adipose tissue, which changes in thermogenic capacity depending on the season.
