and its time for recite Astaghfaar More and more...Astagh far ullah hil Azeem .)
A new mammal was found in the remote African desert. It looks like a mouse but its close genetic analysis showed that it has genes similar to an elephant, reports a California scientist.
In Namiba, this mouse-like animal lives in a rocky habitat and to keep away the predators, it has a reddish fur that blends in the surrounding. This animal is named as Macrosceildes micus.
“It turns out this thing that looks and acts like shrews that evolved in Africa is more closely related to elephants,” says, a curator of mammals and birds at the California Academy of Sciences located in San Francisco, John Dumbacher.
It is indeed surprising that the only physical thing that links this shrew and elephant is its pointed trunk-like snout.
“They are actually closer related to elephants than they are to mice,” says academy researcher Galen Rathbun.
“I noticed that there were some differences that didn’t make sense, so I came to Jack [Dumbacher] for genetics,” Rathbun says.
This new research was documented in the Journal of Mammology.
