RE: Field encounters: on the trail of the Elephant Shrew (original footage)
Such a cute animal. Was it hard to get footage of them, they're so tiny! Did you wait around a spot or was it a chance encounter ? Must have been so exciting !
It was tricky - I've been staking out a few spots where I've seen them hanging out. I got lucky with this one coming out to check out the situation, but obviously the goal is to get longer footage of more natural behavior. So I'm going to try spending some time just sitting quietly near an area I know they are and getting them used to my presence (if possible).
