About The Tiny Endangered Elephant Shrews of Africa [4K Animal Documentary] | Elephant Shrew

Elephant Shrews, also known as Jumping Shrews or Sengis, are tiny Mammals living in Africa. In spite of their name, they are neither an elephant nor are they a shrew! This shy, endangered animal has become the mascot of the incredible Arabuko National Park in Kenya. The income they attract via tourism pays for the education of local children, being part of the African community. A tribute to how small and shy these elephant shrews are is the fact that they were not spotted in Somalia for over 50 years until 2020! Content licensed by ZDF Enterprises to Little Dot Studios.

Rescuing A Pride Of Lions From Cruel Romanian Zoo | Wild Animal Rescue

These Lions started out life in a zoo, forced to perform for audiences every night. When the male lion eventually snapped and attacked a circus worker, they were sent to a zoo in Baia Mare, Romania. The lions were kept in tiny cages with concrete flooring, trapped together for years until Romania joining the EU meant that the zoo had to close, and the lions faced euthanasia if a new home wasn't found for them. Their lives were saved due to the efforts of Dr Adin Miclaus, and the people at FOUR PAWS International. Content licensed by Cineflix to Little Dot Studios.
